Self-pedagogy: poetic of learning in the ritual theater

Abstract

Weaving multidisciplinary connections between art, philosophy and education, the two central questions that inspire this work are: What forms of learning can be experienced in the ritual theater? How can the improvisational character of ritual play make us talk about poetics of learning that flow through experience? These questions are part of the context of an artistic residency developed in Mexico, from which we propose in this text an elaboration around the idea of self-pedagogy, which was designed in the improvisation practices carried out in the creation labs of this experience. Understood as a poetic of learning characteristic of the Arkhétypos Theater Group, the idea of self-pedagogy emerged amidst the construction of the meetings dramaturgy, instigating a certain kind of experimentation that is made of itself in the relationship established with others.
