El maestro, una reflexión sobre la enseñanza del teatro.

Abstract

At the end of the Performing Art’s program of the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, I seek to have an approach to professional fulfillment through differents academic processes in which I exercise the role of professor. As a child I used to play in my notebooks to create plays, I made lists of students with the names of my friends, and I chose a theme or a story, which I began to divide into scenes and then describe a possible staging. After a long time, a social participation project was born in which I summon children and young people from the town of Engativá, they will develop an extracurricular activity focused on the Performing Arts, and through this positively improve their way of expressing thoughts, emotions and ideas, self-confidence, appropriation of their identity, and the mechanisms they build to dialogue with their peers in the development of an artistic creation. In this way, the concept of integrality is approached, not referring to the conjunction of the arts only, without saying that the students do not go through the living experience of music or dance, but rather the intrinsic development of these human abilities in each individual. from theatrical practice. This experience has allowed me to go deeper into the concepts and tools that I consider fundamental within the theater, I have discovered that it is not only an artistic event that requires talent and discipline, but also people who know themselves and recognize within these possible practices findings on a personal level, without romanticizing our work.
