Abstract
The paper aims to analyze the relationship between process and product in the context of the relationships between theater and school, focusing especially on the season of the Sixties, marked by the phenomenon of the “animazione teatrale”, which was distinguished by the novelty and originality of the approaches. In this context, attention will be highlighted on the dimension of the process, understood as a privileged place for the development of creativity and maturity of individuals and groups, often at odds with the product, intended as goods imposed by the system and the ruling class. Finally, we will focus on the synthesis between process and product conceived from the “animazione teatrale” in the theatrical concept of “drammatizzazione”.
