DIGITAL STORYTELLING: AN INNOVATIVE DIDACTIC APPROACH IN THEATRE FOR IMPROVING PSYCHOPHYSICAL WELLBEING AND SELF-ESTEEM

Roberta Minino, Marianna Liparoti

Abstract


The purpose of the work was to evaluate the effect of theatre on psychophysical well-being and self-esteem, and whether innovative teaching approaches, such as digital storytelling, bring improvement on well-being and self-esteem compared to traditional classes. The results show a greater state of psychophysical well-being and self-esteem in those who practice theatre, and that the group who attended classes with digital-storytelling further improved their level of well-being and self-esteem.
