The Embodied Simulation tells us that at the basis of the understanding of the world there are the representation of the aim and the sensory-motor involvement, motor and intentional basis of learning, that art and theatre express through pre-linguistic instruments: images and actions. In the last years the educational sciences and the cognitive sciences (Fischer, Daniel, Immordino-Yang, Stern, Battro, Koizumi. 2007) have intensified their connections to the point of identifying a unique science MBE, Mind Brain Education science (Tokuhama-Espinoza, 2010). This common field concerns the classical themes of learning, memory, attention and language, but also the themes of consciousness and body. The theoretical and empirical research, arisen at the end of the XXth Century, and now developing in cognitive sciences, is causing the change of the research interests from the mind study itself to the study of an ecological mind, of an interdependent mind between body and environment: the focus is the concatenation mind-body-environment, the extended mind.

But does the so-called "augmented reality" mean increased intelligence but reduced humanism? (Benassayag 2016). The research “Embodied Education through art and theater” attempts to create an experiential (embodied) background, starting from the relationship between the artistic and theatrical languages, the neurosciences and the discovery of the MNS Mirror Neuron System (Gallese, Rizzolati 1996), in order to offer a contribution for enactive (Varela, Thompson, Rosch 1991), creative and multimodal learning. The Embodied Simulation (a common underlying functional mechanism that mediates our capacity to share the meaning of actions, intentions, feelings, and emotions with others, thus grounding our identification with and connectedness to others (Gallese 2014)) tells us that at the basis of the understanding of th...
