Speaker
Description
There is a close and interconnected relationship between the theatre and history, the theatre interacts with persons and events, the present and the past functions as a thematic source of multimodal "texts". History is mostly approached through oral testimonies, biographical accounts, ethnographies. The polyphonic and multimodal character of the resulting textual environment allows different interpretations and perspectives of history to be illuminated. In this presentation, applications of history in primary and secondary education will be presented through theatrical methods. There will also be a presentation of the theatrical techniques that are used and enrich the history lesson. The fundamental research character, in order for students to investigate events in the past and ask key questions about the present, brings multiple pedagogical benefits.
