This discipline was born and originated in ancient philosophy starting from Socrates in the 5th century BC. through the ancient concept of paideia which means precisely education and complete formation of man. The pedagogy of expression focuses on giving importance to the person and communication through various artistic forms such as dance, movement, verbal and non-verbal expression but above all to emotions considered as the highest instrument of human expression. In particular, the theatre is considered one of the most important places to be able to put into practice this form of human expression through acting and self-manifestation.
