In the case of the travelling show community, these interviews coincided with a period when members of the community, particularly mothers, were coming together to seek mechanisms for improving the school opportunities for their children.
In doing so, they have highlighted the education of occupational Travellers as a morphogenic field—possessing very little energy in its own right, precisely because it is marginalised from the power of the educational centre or mainstream, it has had to absorb energy from, and to attain resonance with, representatives of that centre or mainstream.
In particular, both the Travellers and the researchers can be likened to surfers expending and expanding energy as they interact with the far more powerful ocean and sustaining other members of the surfing community and themselves as they do so.
Showman or TravellingShowmen are people who organise and run fairgrounds.
In the UK, workers on the rides (who are often from the local area) are often mistaken for travellingshowmen.
A showmen would refer to himself as a Traveller, however, to outsiders the word showman is used to differentiate people who organise fairgrounds from other travelling communities.
