Ato de transver: preparação corporal de atores para um espetáculo não visual

Abstract

The research deals with aspects of body preparation of actors from the experience with the cast of the Extension Project WHAT THE EYES DO NOT SEE, linked to the Education Center and Department of Educational Practices and Curricula of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, about the coordination of Prof. Dr. Jefferson Fernandes Alves. It is investigated how the absence of the sense of sight influences the body practices with the actors, as this situation reverberates in their bodies for the scene and in the perception of itself. As a focus of research, the reports of extension project members are analyzed through Bardin's Thematic Content Analysis. Reference is made to the provocations of the philosopher Evegen Bavcar on other dimensions of the eye that are beyond the eyes, as well as the poetic idea of Manoel de Barros on the act of transver. They compose the investigation of non-visual as a possible tool in the bodywork of actors, along with studies on the attention of Virginia Kastrup and the concepts of body and Heterotopia by Michel Foucault. As results we discuss topics such as: the tactile dimension of the look, see as something relational, the reversal of the state of attention, attention to self, body preparation as a no place, creation of a utopian body and alterity between actors and spectators.
