A formação docente em Teatro: Uma experiência atravessada pela acessibilidade

Abstract

In this paper I present my journey through the Theater degree course from a perspective that brings an experience touched by communication and cultural accessibility. This said, my goal is to reflect on my artistic and teaching experiences, putting elements together in order to contribute to teacher training in Theatre today, considering the importance of accessibility. This case report addresses my educational itinerary in the extension projects “Audiodescrição ao vivo: a acessibilidade de eventos acadêmicos no contexto da UFRN” (Live Audio Description: the accessibility of academic events in the context of UFRN) and “O que Os Olhos Não Veem - A Cena Pelo Avesso e Pelo Verso” (What The Eyes Do not See Inside the scene and by its verse"), and the construction of the audio description of the theater play "Três Encontros com a Alegria" as well as the experience in supervised teacher training. Through this path I have perceived the potential of a theater teaching process that considers and brings opportunities for visually impaired students, and the need to consider communication and cultural accessibility in the curriculum of the Theater degree course of UFRN (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte), considering the presence of children and young people with disabilities in school contexts.
