As a result of an exploratory research, this article offers a brief overview of the major trends in performing training at school, which are identifiable in both private and public schools of Bogotá. The issue of the inclusion of theatre in the school curriculum, as well as the various ways in which this subject is integrated into the study schemes of the schools, allows an analysis on the sense of the artistic education policies defined by the related official institutions, and their actual application or omission in the educational practice. This, in order to continue the study on the source of this research: the theatre teacher at the school, his knowledge and his action. The word knowledge is hence understood as the phase in which the teacher’s training, preparation and experience are incorporated, much in the same manner as the word action is understood as all the pedagogical strategies designed by the teacher from his knowledge and having in mind the practical needs of each educational context. In other words, the methodological implementation of his knowledge in a specific scenario: the school.
