This work proposes the discussion of methodological strategies used in the classroom for the collective creation of the dramatic text, its characteristics and particularities as a way of inserting students in the creative process and enhancing the teaching-learning process of theater content. The research was carried out in the Arts classes at Colégio Estadual Tereza Conceição Menezes, of the state network of Bahia with students from the 6th and 7th grades of elementary school. Theoretical-methodological articulations are made with authors who research the relationship between Theater and Education, such as Japiassu, Koudela and Reverbel, having as main methodological basis the processes of collective creation developed through Viola Spolin's theatrical games. Finally, a pedagogical experience articulated with active methodologies to strengthen the teaching of Theater in public schools is elucidated. As a result, the production of a collective dramatic text, with the support of the teacher-playwright, the connections established between students, with the school and with society and the prospects for expanding cultural backgrounds, strengthening bonds and enabling a new look at the teaching and learning process. The work comprises a scientific article, originating from the research activities, accompanied by a descriptive memorial of the investigation.
