Overall objectives:
After completing this course, students should be able to demonstrate mastery of the following:
- Discuss the importance of theatre and dramatic expression in the identity and evolution of a community over time.
- Reflect on the organisation of theatrical events and cultural moments, namely the production, staging and creation of shows.
- Create activities in the field of theatre and dramatic expression that promote engagement, lifelong learning and leisure.
- Understand the aspects of dramatising stories, legends, poetry and songs in formal and informal learning environments.
Syllabus:
Classes will be organised in such a way as to encourage student participation, so that they can experience, recreate and reflect on lifelong learning processes in the context of Education through Art - Performing Arts. We have the opportunity to participate in theatrical events as critical spectators. Through debates, organised in small and large groups, we share ideas, research and reflect on the programme content. In all classes, practical exercises are organised, taking into account the socio-cultural experiences of the students, in the context of dramatic play, improvisation, dramatisation, voice, body, gesture, dance, interpretation, among other subjects proposed and created by the students. The objectives are developed through participation in practical exercises, pair work and project work.

Assesssment methods and criteria:
The assessment recommended in this Course Unit is intended to be continuous, aiming to assess the objectives and content developed by the students. This will be carried out based on model D of the University of Madeira's student learning assessment regulations. Considering assessment as a mediation between teaching and learning, the following assessment items will be considered:
Reflection and participant observation are the preferred ways to assess the processes and mechanisms of dramatic expression and theatre in a meaningful learning context. After analysis and discussion with students, the assessment has the following weighting:
Practical exercises developed in class - 25%.
Pair work - Analysis of a play (chosen by the students) - 35%
Group work - The construction of a theatre project - 40%
