Theatrical Education – Against Dehumanization

Summary/Abstract: In the authors’ approach, theatre is one of the forms of creative expression. From the point of view of education, it is all the more interesting since it employs materials of different forms of arts – visual arts, music, dancing or literature – it enables a multifaceted contact with art. While preparing for a theatrical performance, and, later on, playing in it, a child learns to make use of different creative materials in order to express certain content; it learns cooperation with partners and concentration on the task, and, finally, it learns their own possibilities and limitations. In her attempt at finding appropriate forms of such education, the author prepared several experimental performances addressed to children at different ages, in which the forms of artistic or theatrical influences ought to be diversified. In her article, she presents three theatrical and pedagogical experiments inspired by the ideas of Jan Dorman, carried out between 2003–2006 by the students of Social and Cultural Animation under her supervision.
