O contato e o teatro como acontecimento de convívio: uma investigação sobre o processo criativo da atriz

Abstract

This text is the result of a process of theoretical and practical research developed in the Performing Arts course of the Federal University of Santa Maria as a requirement for graduation in Theater Interpretation. The research was developed between March and November of 2017, linked to the process of creation of the IROKO theatrical spectacle. The theoretical clipping is given by the notion of contact approached by Jerzy Grotowski and by the notion of theater as a convivial event, elucidated by Jorge Dubatti, in addition to Peter Brook's notes on theatrical interpretation. The present research was based on the interest of investigating, in my work as an actress, what are the procedures that instrumentalize my body to make it available to the contact, aiming at the establishment of the theatrical event, related to the notion of conviviality. This investigation included reading procedures, creation of practical material, essays and descriptive and audiovisual records of the assembly process. From these procedures the reflective and critical report of my process of actress was elaborated within the spectacle, and this report was divided into five chapters. Each chapter, respectively, dealing with: the explanation of concepts; from body preparation to actress work; of the creative process; of the conviviality with the audience; of my final considerations.
