Popis: In this study, we explore the interrelationship of theory and practice by focusing on the practice of Integral Drama Based Pedagogy (idbp) by tracing its theoretical framework of Wang Yamgming (1472–1529) on its conception, and the theoretical influence of Sri Aurobindo (1872–1950) on its development. In the works of Wang Yangming and Aurobindo, a theory of Integral Education emerges that contributes to an increasing transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary evolution in education in primary, secondary, and higher education. Our intention is to discuss the interrelationship between two educational approaches that are directed toward the student’s personal transformation – Integral Education and Integral Drama Based Pedagogy – and to show that their complementarity has had a positive mutual influence. In addition, we include references to the works of Donald Winnicott and his contemporaries on the expansion of idbp. Lastly, we provide an example of a course component of idbp, a teaching of the poem “Journey” by Mary Oliver.
