Approach to a Community Theater Training Experience

Abstract

The article exposes the training and research process applied in a community theater experience developed in the years 2017 - 2018, in the community of Chama, Libertador Municipality of the city of Mérida, Venezuela. The research paradigm was qualitative and developed under the approach: Experiential introspective. The methodology applied was Action-Participation, which was deployed in four phases of work: dramatic writing, training workshop, staging and representation. The process was recorded through the participatory observation technique, which generated important reflections in response to the objective of the research which was oriented towards the recreational, formative and integrative practice of the Theater, as an alternative for the recognition of the potentialities of young adolescents in a state of vulnerability, in favor of an experience of exchange and human practice for the inclusion of young people in the community.
