This collaborative work offers a contemporary interdisciplinary perspective on the role of theatre and the performing arts in education. Through a comprehensive analysis of four key thematic modules, as compiled by twenty-seven academics and scholars in the field, this work highlights the performing arts as a key tool and method for creative, social and emotional learning.
Focusing on examining issues related to theatre pedagogy and exploring the relationships between literature, folklore and drama, the authors highlight the wealth of sociocultural approaches based on applied theatre. The pages of the work also examine issues of interculturality, as well as educational psychology issues related to the utilization of theatre-pedagogical methodologies in the educational context.
This book is addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students of departments of theater studies, philology, pedagogical departments, students of drama schools, researchers, scholars, theater professionals and in general to those involved in theatrical expression and art.
