Performative methodologies and transformative learning: a systematic review

Through a review of the literature of the last twenty years, the article explores the use of theatrical performance methodologies. The objectives are the reconstruction and systematization of intervention proposals and survey instruments used to investigate the transformations that have occurred in participants. The purpose is to identify trajectories and research tools capable of recording rational and emotional dimensions, both of which are involved in transformative learning and in performance methodologies. The emphasis on this holistic view suggests that transformative learning should be considered from an embodied perspective.
