Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to the actor’s learning journey, mapping the individual’s transformation as a learner and as an educator. The actors interviewed give their explanations of the educational designs to be found at Odin Teatret through the years, their understanding of learning and of their own role as educators and their educational values. To conclude, the author attempts to draft a theatre laboratory learning theory, based on the actors’ narratives.
I am still a beginner. Learning.
