O reconhecimento da minha negritude na graduação: uma implicação sobre esse processo, enquanto mulher negra, a partir do teatro

Abstract

The paper presents my memories and experience as a student on the Undergraduate Course in Theater at Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The main point is my awareness that I am a Black Woman. I present questions that followed such a discovery and also thoughs and theoretical approaches that I learned. I discuss the political body and racism when I consider trainnings and internships programs that I took in order to be a teacher. I present debates about black characters and black theater in Brazil. I mention specific points of the process of discovering that I am a black woman. I recognize that black theater playwrigthing could be very powerful. So, I point out that I found a new perspective to create a theater piece as a black woman. As a conclusion, it was very important to recognize that I am a black person.
