The development of the subject will be carried out by means of methodological dynamics of the PERFORMATIVE EDUCATION OF THE ARTS: placing the focus in the processes of learning of the people through the arts, fleeing from the traditional methodologies of teaching. It is a change of perspective that leads us to talk about a pedagogy of the event and transformation scenarios, where the interaction of knowledge, presences, identities and artistic languages is prioritized. In addition to rethinking the conceptions of time and space in learning the arts, it aims to experience artistic creation and participate in collaborative projects, connecting with current changes in innovation-oriented education.
