ABSTRACT
The fieldwork sessions that author conducted with some 160 adults occurred with educators, graduating healthcare and youth-work trainees, performance arts practitioners/educators, and interested members of the general public. This chapter aims to put a mirror of author experiences and outlook concerning gender and embodiment before others. It focuses of all of the sessions to be on mainstream culture as opposed to unique and uncommon students, communities, or arts education situations. It explores the participant's views on themes that arose out of group discussions as well as in comments made on response sheets. On the whole, the author found that a similar range of responses to issues of gender and embodiment were expressed across the various adult participant groups. He points out the biological sex, nationality, or precise source of responses of any individual participant only where he feels these points of difference are noteworthy.
