Practice as aesthetic co-creation

Dealing with workplace learning over the years as a manager and recently as a researcher I have experienced a gap when it comes to learning between the formal educational setting (eg. courses, workshops, meetings) and the everyday practice. Different studies discuss these difficulties as a question of transfer of learning from one setting to another (eg Wahlgren 2013, Illeris 2009, Thomas, 2007). Studies in workplace learning point out that learning occurs through engagement in work tasks in the workplace (eg Billet, 2007, Vaughan, 2008, Wegener, 2013) and stresses that learning has to be connected with something embedded in concrete experiences (Wegener, 2014). The question is how to do that? By what means can we connect to this something in the educational setting? And what is this something all about? I wonder: Can theatre-mediated processes as a way of thinking and acting fill out the gap between educational settings and everyday practice?
