Teatro e neurodiversidade: análise de metodologias de ensino/criação com pessoas neurodivergentes

Abstract

This Undergraduate thesis proposes to present a brief overview of teaching/creation methodologies in Theater with neurodivergent people. Seven papers were selected for analysis of the aesthetic-pedagogical approaches and procedures adopted by the authors, in order to articulate them to the perspectives identified in the paradigm of neurodiversity. The chosen works are by the following authors: Ragazzon and Salume (2020), Leite (2022), Santos (2022), Bonfatti et al (2017), Paes (2018), Muñoz (2022) and Silva (2007). In practices, modes of creation that prioritize the body, its relationship with others and its relationship with space stand out. In general, it is evident that the most used methodologies were the Theater games by Viola Spolin and the Theater of the Oppressed by Augusto Boal. It also highlights the practice of the clown recognized as a transgressive way of work. This investigation identifies possible methodological paths for future theatrical practices developed with neurodivergent people who privilege the unique functioning of their bodyminds and offers subsidies for future research in the area in relation to neurodiversity.
