It has been repeatedly pointed out that teaching is closely related to theatre. In this special issue of ten articles on various topics, we search for a philosophy to link theatre and the art of teaching. This introductory paper offers a theoretical basis for discussion, starting with talking about an analogy between a modern theatre and the modern educational system. The attitude of the students, who are quietly and carefully listening to the teacher's talk, is similar to that of the theatre audience, especially in a modern theatre.We, then, examine some of the physical aspects of the teacher-student relationship in terms of the rise of cyberspace education including internet educational tools. This aspect of education overlaps with the so-called workshop methodology. How to make a workshop successful must be investigated with regards to the “persona” or role-playing in modern society, which is similar to a theatrical performance. Also, the Brechtian concept of “gestus” must be revalued in terms of the art of teaching.
