Theatre in Schools

Summary/Abstract: Theatrical activities can have a highly important pedagogical usefulness within the framework of public education. Since cooperation is the basis for such activities, they can help improve communal feeling, help students learn various forms of cooperation and practice them, and prepare students for cultured debate and how to reach a consensus through conversation. In addition, they develop verbal and nonverbal communicative tools and improve movement, use of space, music, rhythm, etc. And finally, the joy of stage production strengthens confident self-expression in participating students and increases self-confidence when speaking in public. The success of a creative project can also show students that working together for a common goal is worth it. While theatrical activities are not part of the curricula of public education today, they often exist within school life in the forms of workshops or educational projects, and their presence in the context of education looks back on a long tradition.
