Drama Practitioners? They must be an established theatrical professional. The working methods and techniques of the practitioner must be easily identified. Whilst it is acknowledged that the practitioner may incorporate a variety of techniques that can be associated with other practitioners, it will be universally accepted that the practitioner chosen has a distinct set of conventions that can be associated with their work.
