Description
Summary:This text is a reflection about different ways of conceiving children and their childhoods. From a teacher training project developed with Early Childhood Education professionals in the city of Florianópolis, the author explores relationships between theories about childhood and artistic-pedagogical practices developed with children. The theatrical and research work carried out by Trupe da Alegria - a theater group composed of children teachers - supports the analyzes developed. It starts from the Sociology of Education, passing through Developmental Psychology to arrive at the Sociology of Childhood. The discussions seek to emphasize children as subjects that produce culture, whose voices should be appropriated in pedagogical practices, artistic productions and research in the theatrical area. Keywords Theater pedagogy. Theater with Children. Childhood. Teacher Training.
