Making Theater Visible at School Beyond Performance

Theater is an emblematic, consolidated performance experience in educational and scholastic contexts. This paper presents some results of a research-training project on workshops held in preschools, primary schools and middle schools. The study singled out typical characteristics of theater experiences which can be considered good practice and the conditions necessary for implementing them, as well as for their realization and amplification within schools, but more importantly we were able to co-construct tools for documentation, monitoring and verification aimed at sustaining the visibility and the meaningfulness of these experiences at school.
