O processo criativo Azul Turquesa como prática educativa e enfrentamento do bullying na escola

Abstract

This is an article whose objective is to present the result of a work as an educational practice carried out at the State School Professor Paulo Pinheiro de Viveiros, located in the Lagoa Azul Neighborhood, in the North Zone of Natal/RN, through the creative process developed by the Mythos Theater Company, with the purpose of facing the Bullying that has been occurring in the school research field and its surroundings. The work is justified, because it seeks to break some paradigms about Bullying, bringing to reflection those involved so that social and educational measures may be taken, so that this problem is faced more effectively. The show Azul Turquesa is based on a collaborative scenic construction, having as reference the anthropological theater of Eugênio Barba (1994); the role of the teacher and the school based on the discussion of Walter Kohan (2015); the studies of Beaudoin & Taylor (2006), which deal with Bullying and disrespect, a culture that must be extinguished from school; the discussions made by Ana Beatriz Silva (2015), in her book Bullying: dangerous minds in schools, among others. Therefore, we take as a methodology for the approach to the theme, a qualitative descriptive research, considering the case study, as a strategy for the expression of the studied reality, according to (YIN, 2005; STKE, 2013; ANDRÉ, 1984; BOGDAN & BIKLEN, 1994), as well as a participant observation, in view, as researcher and coordinator, to be inserted within the daily life of the group (BECKER, 1994). The research questions that guide our study are: Given the experiences of students, inside and outside the school, what are the possibilities of coping with Bullying? Within Theater Teaching, how can the creative process collaborate with the confrontation of school bullying? This said, we consider our study relevant, since, as a methodology, it can contribute to the improvement of human relations and respect in school.
