MOVEMENT CREATIVITY: THE IMPORTANCE OF PERFORMING ARTS IN EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS

Marianna Liparoti, Roberta Minino

Abstract


In recent years, from a concept of creativity identified as a mental construct we have moved on to an embodied view of creativity. The body takes on a key role as a tool for exploring the environment, as a generator of ideas and mental abilities. This work aims to analyse the effects of a creative dance workshop experience on mental and creative abilities in school age. Dance is suggested as an integrative approach to traditional teaching.
