O Teatro e suas técnicas: uma prática inclusiva na Arteterapia com alunos da Educação Especial

Abstract

 This paper aims to reflect on the theatrical techniques developed with special children in educational teaching. Bringing the theater to a school and directing it towards special education means creating a pedagogical organization mechanism for its development, providing a school institution with spaces and curricular times for educators and students to seek their aesthetic knowledge. This work is justified because the theater is an effective instrument in the use of art as therapy, because through it it is possible for students to exercise their expressions and their emotions to use the body as a work tool. Theater within Art Therapy should be understood as a pedagogical practice that guides students, according to their specificities, to find a path to creativity. It provides learning through the manifestation of creative imagination, as it brings together sensitization and awareness through games, play, body movements, postures and attitudes. In the scope of special education, theater is seen as insufficiently developed in schools during Art Therapy classes, because for professionals in the field, most of them with a background in Visual Arts, lack of understanding or understanding of what it can also be. useful tool in the student's teaching-learning process.
