The purpose of this thesis was to introduce pupils to a performative way of expressing personal emotions. The pupils expressed themselves through non-verbal communication and body movement, which was then recorded in a form of a video. A problem which was previously observed in a traditional approach to teaching is insufficient encouragement and development of emotions towards a particular subject in class. As such it had lead to a lack of development of emotional intelligence and left the pupils in a position of a passive observer (of the teaching process). The aim of the research was to activate the entire personality of the pupils, that is, to encourage them to participate actively, to work together, to think about the topic, to form opinions and to think critically with the ultimate goal of expressing emotions in a performative way - movement, gesture, expression. Also, to allow pupils a certain freedom of expression through movement, in order to increase creativity. The results of this research have given answers to the following research questions: 1) How can one connect the performative form of expression and emotions? 2) How can we express non verbal communication through the prism of a new media, in this case video? 3) How can we communicate certain messages through a visual expression by using our own body? The research included qualitative and performative research in two eighth grade groups and lasted four school hours. It was expected that the pupils would find this form of classes more interesting than usual and that their expression will be more creative and authentic, which was proven true in the end through their participation and quality of their resulting videos. The usefulness of this research has been seen in raising awareness of students' own emotions and expressing them through their own physicality - through movement and gesture. This mode of work allowed students to express themselves more freely and to learn educational content through personal experience and to learn a different way of expression through the use of new media - video. During the research, students actively participated in the teaching, and the visual work they recorded directly referenced the environment in which they were located. The research confirmed that it is natural for students to express emotions, opinions and a critical attitude through their physicality.
