Project

I am interested in researching about theatrical improvisation as a pedagogical tool, within the field of theatre/drama in education (with special mention to the concept of freedom). For me it is very important to attend to a philosophical basis that must be present in any didactic intervention, divided into five concepts: expression, presence (body, movement and improvisation), socialization, creativity and critical sense; and contrast these ideas with those of the rest of the people attending Faber.
