Dramatizing science - physicsworld.com

There are several obstacles, he said. One is that theatre is about observing people interacting in social situations. But the core even of collaborative science is thinking – and, as he put it, "you can’t observe thought". This makes it hard to dramatize science.
Another problem, Sweet said, is that scientists speak to one another in "high-context communication" that assumes a shared background and expertise and uses jargon. But when scientists talk to reporters, lawyers or others with whom they share little, they use "low-context communication", which is different in tone as it involves a lot of explaining. As a result, scientists onstage are only believable if their dialogue with each other is high-context, but only understandable to an audience if their dialogue is low-context. This tempts poor writers to commit the basic mistake of having people who should be speaking high-context speak to each other low-context, saying things that each person knows the other person already knows.
