he theatre of reprise and the estehetic co-construction of knowing. A reflection upon individual/group learning through the interactive improvisation (co-cretion)

Abstract

In my doctoral research I reflect on the methodology of the Playback Theatre as a mediator of interaction and learning with the audience. I define the method and its foundations based on Jacob Levy Moreno. Since the psychodrama, its history, and the path of its creator intertwine indissolubly, the personality and biography of Moreno are used as a guide in understanding the foundations of the psychodramatic method. His views on inclusion, utopia and health configure an avant-garde in his time, notion of co- conscious and co-unconscious. Specifically regarding the Playback Theatre method, this work is a study on how the impact of the group learning, resulting from the use of the method in organizations, public policy and so on, is valued by some examples of intervention and testimonials from participants.
