Abstract
The author, as one of the founders of the “Educational Theater”, analyzes and defines the educational model presented by herself as a form of non-formal education which is constantly changing following both her original pedagogically conceived concept and world educational practices built on a visual and theatrical basis. The paper describes the transformation from a leadership-oriented training model to an interactive theatre-educational model presented by the “Fun Science” Theater and involving the children in the performance as partners and analysts of their own achievements. The prospect of the changing paradigm is outlined - from a Watch, Play and Write model to a Watch, Interact and Analyze one endorsed by the author as interesting, desirable and meaningful for learners.

Keywords
Educational Theatre, Educational performance, Model of teaching, Interactive model.
