FERNANDES, Jéssica da Luz  and  CASTRO, Amanda. The influence of theater practice on the development of spontaneity: a research with students of a theater school. Rev. bras. psicodrama [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.2, pp. 8-22. ISSN 2318-0498.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15329/2318-0498.20180023.

The objective of this article was to understand the possible influences of theater classes in the development of students' spontaneity. The research was conducted with eight students, five from the basic level of the theater course and three from the advanced level. The interview data were analyzed through the Descending Hierarchical Classification, using the Iramuteq software; and the spontaneity scale data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. A greater average of spontaneity was identified in students who attended classes longer. The development of this characteristic was evidenced by the words that reinforced changes in social relationships, in the way they perceive themselves, the world, and face the opinions of others, resulting in greater freedom to express feelings and thoughts before the other.

Keywords : spontaneity; theater; health; psychodrama.
