ICLE, Gilberto. Theatre Pedagogy: Rupture, Movement and Restlessness of Self. educ.educ. [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.2, pp.129-142. ISSN 0123-1294.

This article examines the conditions surrounding the possibility and emergence of theatre pedagogy, understood as a kind of restlessness of self. In doing so, it analyzes Stanislavski's pedagogy as an ethic of restlessness of self and one that finds echoes in Foucault's analysis of restlessness of self in Classical Antiquity. In the company of the French philosopher and inspired by his notion of problems, it tries to apply his analysis to ancient texts, especially that of Alcibiades and later works, weaving those notions into Stanislavski's work. Contemporary conditions for theatre pedagogy are suggested, raising questions that help to understand it as an art of existence.
