Theatre as an educational tool for “troubled children” requires further reflection and critical input. We see theatre as a powerful educational tool that can stimulate relevant processes of intrapsychic reworking and change our relationship with our bodies. This is why drama workshops are so wide-ly used in educational contexts, especially with young people. However, it is precisely theatre’s ability to influence our relationship with ourselves and our bodies that makes it a tool to be used wisely and carefully when working with minors in juvenile detention centres.

Abstract
Theatre as an educational tool for “troubled children” requires further reflection and critical input. We see theatre as a powerful educational tool that can stimulate relevant processes of intrapsychic reworking and change our relationship with our bodies. This is why drama workshops are so wide-ly used in educational contexts, especially with young people. However, it is precisely theatre’s ability to influence our relationship with ourselves and our bodies that makes it a tool to be used wisely and carefully when working with minors in juvenile detention centres.
