Abstract

             This research addresses a core challenge in educational theater: the underutilization of movement. Often, movement in this field is treated as a supplementary element or a general expressive activity rather than a structured theatrical act based on clear scientific and technical foundations. This lack of scientific precision leads to disorganized physical rhythm and a disconnect between physical effort and the intended educational meaning, as well as a failure to utilize principles of balance in visual composition.The study defines biomechanics as a performance methodology that treats the human body as a kinetic system governed by physical laws. In a theatrical context, this approach aims to develop the actor's flexibility and transform their physical performance into a conscious, symbolic language rooted in balance, rhythm, and the economy of effort. It relies on key principles, including "bodily integration"—treating the body as a unified system—and "intentionality in movement," which organizes physical actions into specific stages: preparation, control, execution, and stabilization.Utilizing a descriptive-analytical method, the research analyzed the children's play Drop of Rain (2024), The analysis demonstrated how the performance transformed abstract concepts, such as environmental conservation and cooperation, into a tangible sensory experience. The production employed techniques like theatrical symbolism, kinetic contrast (lightness vs. heaviness), and rhythmic repetition to enhance the child's perception and understanding.Statistical results revealed a significant presence of biomechanical features in the studied sample, with a general relative weight of 89.57%. The study confirmed that indicators related to the actor's body becoming a conscious tool of expression, the ability to build internal and physical flexibility, and the promotion of positive values like participation achieved a perfect weighted average of 100%In conclusion, the research finds that Biomechanics in educational theater serves not only as a performance technique but as a comprehensive pedagogical and aesthetic strategy that embodies values and meanings through disciplined movement. Consequently, the study recommends incorporating these principles into training curricula for directors and actors to enhance performance capabilities and ensure the delivery of precise, safe, and effective movements for the target audience.
