Impacto del juego dramático y la improvisación teatral en el desarrollo de la creatividad escénica de estudiantes universitarios de artes escénicas

Abstract

Abstract: This research examines how dramatic play and theatrical improvisation impact the stage creativity of university students. The research stems from a desire to move beyond traditional pedagogical approaches, which are so focused on technique and memorization and pay little attention to experimentation and expression. In this way, thru a mixed-methods methodological design (qualitative and quantitative methods), a program of dramatic play exercises and improvisation exercises was implemented, and its effect on the originality, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration of stage proposals was measured. The results reveal that not only is there an improvement in creative capacity, but also in transferable skills such as teamwork, communication, and on-stage flexibility. Likewise, it is concluded that the integration of these strategies strengthens actor training, transforms the university classroom into a laboratory for exploration, creation, and artistic construction, and offers a model that can be replicated in other educational contexts.
