Teatro en la escuela

The programme Teatro en la Escuela (Theatre at School) takes theatre, dance, and professional music to the island’s schools.  This initiative aims to familiarise students with performing inside their own educational context, to link academic aspects to the professional performing arts context in the Canary Islands, to lay the groundwork for favouring students’ socialisation in school through cultural activities, and –at the same time– to promote the comprehensive development of schoolchildren, as the companies create performances that are adapted to the curricular needs.bAdditional objectives include integrating other artistic disciplines associated with literature, making use of gestures and of the voice for expressing oneself dramatically through poetic and narrative texts. Finally, becoming familiar with the authors and their texts by analysing their structure.
