Abstract

This chapter explores the integration of theater with literacy practices in a socially conscious, activist, engaged, and liberatory pedagogy. The work presents four case studies and is built upon theories and concepts of experiential learning, play, socially engaged pedagogy, funds of knowledge, and applied theater. The chapter invites educators to consider theater as available and accessible to all, encouraging a flexible approach to teaching and learning that strengthens agency and is a powerful way to engage students. Through discussion of theory and praxis, the authors consider opportunities to connect with communities, heritage, and history to support students as they imagine, read, critically analyze, communicate, and transform their worlds.
