The story of a betrayal: Performing Disney with my students

Abstract

In this essay, I reflect on what happens when professors allow students to express themselves, intellectually, creatively, and emotionally, applying their interpretive skills to achieve this expression. I present, through performance, the results of an exercise that I developed with my undergraduate students in the city of Cordoba, Argentina. I asked them to analyze children's films and then perform this material, inspired by their own analysis. This is a play within a play; a play about writing a play.
