THEATER AND SPORT AT SCHOOL: THE BODY AND EMOTIONS IN THE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT

Abstract

The contribution stems from the intention to give voice to the complex and innovative interdisciplinary dialogue that arises from the fusion of sports practices with theatrical ones within the school environment. Theater, sport and school have numerous points of contact. The sense of discipline, the awareness of one's own limits and strengths, respect for oneself and for the other, the consideration of diversity as an inestimable wealth are the founding values of these different but similar worlds. The object of the research-action conducted is the role that theatrical-motor practice can have in the educational process as a valid teaching tool, capable of enhancing both teaching and learning. The study aims to contribute to the construction of a school that can cultivate talents and train citizens of the future who are physically and emotionally aware and able to relate to all forms of diversity of which existence is made.
