Learning with the body, teaching from the theater

Abstract

This work, highly recommended for teachers of any type and level of education, explains the implication of the body in learning and proposes tools of theatrical origin to achieve an integral teaching from the students' body awareness. The volume is the result of different research and experiences carried out by the working group CE*CA* (Corps Enseignant Corps Apprenant), belonging to the CREAL Center (Coopération, Recherches, Échanges, Arts et Langues) in France and Germany, on the relationship of the body in the teaching-learning process. The book, which has a very didactic orientation, is organized in two large blocks of thematic chapters: first theoretical and then practical. The first part presents the knowledge that justifies the necessary exercise of the corporal, emotional, motivational, relational and psychosocial dimensions of the individual in the educational field. Secondly, a complete itinerary of activities is presented that allow the application in the classroom of everything previously postulated. These series of exercises are based on theatrical practices centered on anchoring, listening, collaboration, commitment, emotions, daring, memory and space.
