Teatro do oprimido e juventudes: revelando um itinerário formativo

Abstract

This research was carried out after three pedagogical works carried out with the youths, investigating the possibilities of the techniques and modalities of Augusto Boal's Theater of the Oppressed (OT): Theater-image, Theater-journal, Theater-forum and Theater-invisible as practices for the teaching of theatrical language . I acted and reflected on the course of the understanding of a subject-teacher (a) -artist, to the actual pedagogical practice and its unfolding of the techniques and exercises inside and outside the scenic making. I explain these three experiences as reports, giving emphasis to the methodological way of building and the discoveries with the practice of exercises, games and methodologies proposed by TO. The results pointed out are within the scope of the theoretical / practical reflections in line with scenic experiences with the youths. I intend, therefore, to reveal these formative itineraries, seeking to point out the latter's contributions to theater teaching.
