Abstract
This article maps, analyses and evaluates the processes involved in the formation of an ethnographic performance as part of an educational ethnography. It discusses the ways in which an ethnographic performance was developed based on research into multiple masculinities in drama in a single-sex boys' secondary school. Key elements of the methodologies the researcher applied are examined including the initial negotiations, data collection and analysis, the drafting process and the presentation of the scripted text. The study posed ethical and aesthetic challenges and the discussion details how these were addressed in the setting and the implications the issues raised for the ethnodramatist and the participants in the project.
