Abstract

Since its debut theatre has brought conflict to the stage: with oneself, the other and the context. Theatre configures itself as a place that keeps away the background noises. It represents an instrument of authenticity, made up of acts and relationships, which are conveyed by a corporeality that involves in the daily school scene, typical scene of conflict mediation. Referring to experiences conducted in the last ten years, we highlight some pedagogical strategies to improve of relationships and to the personal development. Theatre face discomfort also through paralinguistic strategies and speeches providing tools to learn about and manage emotional states.
