The book "Practicing Theater Pedagogy. Concepts, Values, Examples" is the first publication in Poland that so broadly discusses one of the hottest trends in contemporary theatrical life. It shows the spectrum of reflections and experiences of people involved in theater pedagogy, bringing closer issues important for its history and present in Poland. Work on its concept involved the challenge of finding a framework for the story about this discipline that would reflect its character - a living field, continuously developed by various people in many contexts.

36 authors were invited to create texts consisting of six thematic blocks. It is a book that encourages both to learn about the experiences and reflections of others, and to look at it with your own practice and reflection on it. Ultimately, the publication consists of the following blocks: Introduction, On the attitudes and identities of pedagogues in Poland, Important slogans in theater pedagogy, Process - the center of theater pedagogy, Theater and school as key institutional areas of theater pedagogy, and Workshop for the performance as a form of pedagogical and theatrical work.

It contains scientific materials (essays and articles based on the results of sociological research), texts based on interviews with practitioners, as well as tasks that encourage self-reflection and development of their own activities. It closes with a bibliography in a non-standard form: it contains a link to a website where the collected items are located, and a form allowing you to add missing texts to the list. Thanks to this, the theater pedagogy bibliography will be updated on an ongoing basis. The Zbigniew Raszewski Theater Institute is a leading cultural institution in Poland, dealing with documentation, promotion and research on theater. The publishing house of the Theater Institute publishes books, journals and educational materials related to theater, offering a wide selection of items for professionals, students and theater lovers.
