Theater education in Germany has developed rapidly over the past two decades. It has now established itself as an independent discipline within artistic organizations, cultural and social institutions, educational establishments, and universities. In this volume, renowned representatives from both theory and practice share their insights. They describe the historical origins and development lines, discuss the relationship between art and education, negotiate emancipatory-political theater approaches, address the concept of aesthetic education, and illuminate current topics such as theater as a collective process, the biographical approach, or the phenomenon of theater play flow. Practitioners will find numerous perspectives and inspirations in contributions to theater education, including those related to theater, social fields, and therapeutic contexts.
