“…The initial stage training for most of the performers was provided either during the workshop with the theatre practitioner or by myself. The sheer amount of time needed for the conception and management of even just four lectures matches Kindelan's assessment of theatre productions in education: while they are high gain, they are also time-consuming and labour-intensive and therefore costly (Kindelan 2012, 102).…”

“…This step ties in with John Dewey's principles of experiential learning, as it opens up a space for the participants to explore imaginatively and physically the mostly unfamiliar material. Dewey's influence on educational practices, especially with regard to the connection between art and a contemporary liberal education, has been well established both by Nicholson (2009) and Nancy Kindelan, who traces his theory of learning based on a ‘theory of experience’ and argues experiential learning is fundamental to an education for social intelligence (Kindelan 2012, 107). In Art as Experience , Dewey reasons there is a connection between art and its aesthetic experience that can become formative: Experience in the degree in which it is experience is heightened vitality.…”

“…Stating that ‘[t]heatre's modes of inquiry, imagistic language, and signature pedagogy provide the critical skills as well as the actual, virtual, and vicarious experiences through which students can enrich their ability to perceive such connections to self and to others’. Kindelan suggests naming the continuity between art and experience, as defined by Dewey, ‘artistic literacy’ (Kindelan 2012, 108).…”

“…(This is why theatre educators often call their small black-box theatres ‘lab’ or ‘experimental’ theatres). (Kindelan 2012, 100)To underline the idea of the lab, we constructed a petri dish from packaging paper on stage, as the frame of this lecture was to recreate one of Thum's standard experiments: the fruit fly larvae are trained to associate a certain odour with a specific reward. Their response to the odour is then tested without the reward present: a classic Pavlovian conditioning experiment.…”

In the summer term 2015, five academics at an interdisciplinary institution in Germany carried out the experiment of holding lectures in dialogue between a literature/theatre scholar and a scientist, on a stage, with performers and dancers. The series of four lectures explored a range of individual approaches to the subject of the experimental from the perspective of the sciences and of the theatre and outlined several conceptual overlaps between scientific content and theatre methodology. This article traces how, in addition to discussing the theoretical approaches to the subject, the lecture series also put these theories to the test and into practice by allowing performers and dancers to interfere with and even alter the lecture script. We inquired whether interdisciplinary performance lectures are feasible, whether the formation of knowledge is performative, and how this practice could be used in future conceptions of knowledge formation.

Introduction. Educational theatre combines integrated opportunities and forms of education using theatrical arts. It develops in students the ability to use their proactive experiences into absorbing and challenge social reality. The educational value of theatre and performing arts is widely recognised, leading to the integration of theater programmes into the curriculum of universities globally. These programmes are overseen by specialised departments, and universities have established resources for instruction and training. Aim. The present research aims to evaluate the educational outcomes of the Academic Programme for Educational Theatre at the Faculty of Specific Education at Mansoura University in Egypt to ensure that the graduates are ready for the changing conditions of the economy and the needs of the labour market. Concerning the same, the adoption of educational theatre as a model had not been evaluated in the country. Methodology and research methods. The current study finds the role of SLOs, CLOs, PLOs, and ILOs as measures to examine the impact of the educational theatre model. Using a mixed method with the survey of 50 students and interviews of 20 faculty members of the Academic Programme for Educational Theatre, the identification of educational theatre’s impact on the learning outcomes of students is determined. Results. The results show that academic educational programmes depend on the performing arts and the participation of the learner in vocal performance, acting, and movement, activate the learning process and make the educational environment more effectively and greatly improve the learning and practice process. The results also emphasised the significance of educational institutions, particularly universities, in adopting academic programmes that incorporate practical experience, training, hands-on activities, and utilising appropriate evaluation methods. Scientific novelty. These academic educational models help engage students to create a positive emotional state, drive curiosity, strive to excel, build national character, focus on social issues, and believe in their capabilities. Practical significance. Accreditation of academic programmes based on practice and training develops students psychologically and mentally and raises the level of academic achievement and professional and personal development. Therefore, the study recommended the adoption of educational theatre courses in Egypt to ensure that the students are prepared to adapt to the changes in the labour market.
