Philosophy, theater and experience: paths and possibilities in high school
The purpose of the following document is to raise the common ground between the education of Philosophy and the theater during the High School leading from the interaction between philosophy and art, a methodological proposal that considers theatrical text together with body and its performative potentialities as another way of provoking philosophical reflection in the scope of Basic Education. By means, we focus on approaching philosophy classes with a starting point and a guiding thread for discussions and reflections on what can be taught and learned in philosophy, outlining a proposal that is concerned with considering the unfolding of a singular teaching practice to then rethink them from three pillars. The first pillar aims to present a conception of philosophy considering and its unfolding as a practice. The second pillar presents Sartre’s philosophy from the perspective of the discussions about fictional and non-fictional literature of its author. The third and last pillar presents the contribution of Augusto Boal’s methodology towards the elaboration of the classes. This project is inspired by the play No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre along with the Theater of the Oppressed method by the theatologist Augusto Boal, in order to combine aesthetic and philosophical experiences, facilitating the construction of narratives that seek to forge intersections between philosophical attitude and teaching of philosophy.
