The present study, using qualitative research methodology, tries to deepen in the implicit beliefs and perceptions that young people have about their experiences as active participants in theatrical activities. This paper is part of a research project (Theatre and Young People) structured in several phases that combines quantitative and qualitative methodologies. A total of 53 subjects between the ages of 12 and 20 participated in the study. These were randomly distributed in 5 focus groups. The sessions were recorded, transcribed and later analyzed. This allowed the identification of categories, subcategories and thematic units. The results show that the adolescents’ main opinions and concerns on theatre tend to focus on the influence of theatre on their own personal development, self-confidence and emotional competence (individual level) and on the impact which dramatic activities have on their personal and empathic skills (social level). Finally, the results are discussed in terms of education, in relation to both curricular design and teaching methodology.References
