Abstract

Whenever an educational reform is undertaken in Spain, numerous voices claim for a larger presence of theatre education in the stages of pre-university education. This paper considers the reasons for such a claim, settled in the educational potential of theatre education. Then it offers a proposal for the cartography of the field in order to establish which disciplines should be appropriate at each stage, both in terms of aims and objectives and the characteristics of the subject of education, and also considering appropriate names for the disciplines considered. Finally, we present a reasoned proposal for the normalization of theatre education from kindergarten to high school.
