Theatre in Education in India: A Critical Reflection on Its Journey and Contrasts with International Practices

Author(s) Mr. Anshuman
Country India
Abstract This paper critically examines the trajectory of Theatre in Education (TIE) in India from 2000 to 2025, situating it within a broader discourse of educational development and international practices. It explores how TIE has been integrated into Indian education policy, notably through the National Curriculum Framework and National Education Policy, and its impact on fostering creativity, critical thinking, and socio-emotional skills among learners. Comparative analyses with the United Kingdom’s “Mantle of the Expert,” Norway’s institutionalized drama education, and Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed in Brazil highlight structural gaps in India’s TIE ecosystem, including the lack of teacher training, curriculum frameworks, and policy implementation. Empirical findings reveal that while community-based theatre initiatives address social inequities and enhance resilience, they remain fragmented and unsustainable without systemic support. Additionally, the paper considers the interplay between education, human capability enhancement, and regional disparities in India’s development. The analysis argues for embedding TIE within teacher education and leveraging global best practices to create equitable, holistic, and participatory education systems in India.
