Dissertação (Mestrado em Artes da Cena) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2022.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/12150The present work is part of a research in process since 2019, composing the set of productions of the research line “Aesthetics and poetics of the Performing Arts” of the Graduate Program in Performing Arts (PPGAC) of the School of Music. and Performing Arts (EMAC) at the Federal University of Goiás-UFG, being linked to the Center for Studies and Research on Childhood and its Education in Different Contexts of the Faculty of Education at UFG (Nepiec/ FE/ UFG) and to the Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory in Performing Arts (LAPIAC). The dissertation entitled Performing Arts and Childhood: Critical Reflections on Praxis with Theater in Early Childhood Education has as its object the context of theatrical practice with/for/in early childhood education. In this way, we seek to understand theater as a field of knowledge, stressing relationships between theatrical pedagogy and bringing this discussion closer to the different conceptions of 'childhoods', respecting their personal, social, cognitive and expressive development. It was defined as research problems: What are the possibilities and potentialities of experiences with theater in early childhood education? The conceptual analysis in the research was carried out based on historical materialism and dialectics. The methodology is developed from a documentary and bibliographic study, with contribution to national curricular references, intersecting research methodologies with a view to establishing relationships to experience from potentialities and impossibilities with theater teaching at this stage. Some aspects pertaining to childhood training will be discussed in this work, exposing some gaps that we still face for access between theater making and early childhood education, also between teachers and children, educational institutions, and those responsible.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalInfânciaEducação infantilPedagogia do teatroTeatro dialéticoChildhoodChild educationTheater pedagogyDialectical theaterLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::ARTES::TEATRODissertação
