Changing School Through Theatre
To celebrate the World Teachers' Day, researcher Tiziana Tesauro talks to us about the ways in which the school space, the teaching and learning processes, the role and relationship of teachers and students can be rethought thanks to theatre.
In the contribution, Changing School Through Theatre. Non-school and Arrevuoto, written for the magazine “Scuola Democratica”, Tiziana Tesauro and Alfonso Amendola, analyze the cases of two theater companies, Teatro delle Albe and Punta Corsara, empirically showing how theater carries out its educational function precisely by subverting the order of discourses, the logic of power and the routines of school practices. In this performative process there is no knowledge to transmit but an experience to do and, in this way, the school space can be rethought through the theater space.
