EDUCATIONAL THEATRE
EDUCATIONAL THEATRE

Summary/Abstract: The Educational Theatre took form in the 60’ in Great Britain as a direct response to both school and theatre necessities. Since then it has been developed in many different forms and contexts taking an impressive variety of theatrical forms. The Educational Theatre facilitates the classical educational system incapable of developing behaviour patterns and demeanours concerning moral values that young people need. This new form of art has tried, since its emergence, along with solving complex issues (from the communication and community development area), to redefine the role of theatre in society, calling in question the relation between the actor and the audience, the playwright and the actor, the theatre and the state, the theatre and the present and not the least important relation between the theatre and the propaganda.
