El cuerpo como territorio de aprendizaje: intervención pedagógica a través de la danza y el teatro

Abstract

This final report corresponds to the internship as part of my graduation project, which took place at the IED Manuela Ayala de Gaitán School, located in the Engativá district of Bogotá. The project focused on exploring the body in elementary and high school students through performing arts and dance, promoting expression, self-awareness, and the development of motor, communicative, and creative skills. Traditional and contemporary dances, as well as theatrical games, were used to strengthen the expressive capacities of children and young people.The process was developed in four phases: body awareness through dance and theater; identification of expressive possibilities appropriate to the intervention; in-depth study of basic elements of traditional Colombian dance; and integration of the project with the institutional curriculum to ensure continuity and collaborative work with teachers. The internship culminated in a classroom presentation and participation in the school's "Our Identity" event, with the support of administrators and teachers.
