Técnica de bufão: possibilidades teórico-práticas para o ator contemporâneo

Abstract

We believe that for the constitution of a buffoon figure the actor must seek a body that seems true, for the quality of its characterization and, mainly, for its work of creation. The research had as objectives to understand how the construction of the buffoon body and how it is configured in the transformation of the body of the actor, as well as inquerir how to build such body from the workshops and spectacles of Grupo Bufões de Olavo. To do so, we started with such questions: How can the buffoon technique be potent in the training of the actor / actress? How is the ethical / aesthetic buffoonish body configured in contemporaneity and how can such a buffoon technique be used in the processes of contemporary actor / actress formation? The methodological proposition used was participant observation as a methodology that does not pose as a direct interference agent, but which is completely involved, requiring a detailed recording, which can be done in audiovisual material, so that the researcher can observe even the Itself, within the process of building the work done. Through the assembly of the show "Wanderer - The Kingdom of the Blind", we investigated the exercises within the buffoon technique, experimented and discussed. We realize how important it has been to work with this aesthetic, developing our discourse as artists, people, producers of art. We developed workshops and performances, which gave us the opportunity to observe the reverberation of this work in other people, being able to perceive the power of this research in the contribution of our work and other artists that we could have contact with.
