Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Artes - Profartes) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2018.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/26019This dissertation concerns the research called "Circus Place is in the School: The Study of the Clown in Artistic Pedagogical Experience" whose object of research is the study of circus and clowning in the regular system of education, based on the analysis of the story of experience of the artistic / pedagogical project "Lugar de Circo é na Escola". Seeking to broaden the discussion of the circus and clown content in the classroom, as a clown / teacher / researcher, I began to reflect on how to construct an artistic / pedagogical path systematized for circus and clown studies in elementary school classes in the final series of the School Maria de Lourdes Bezerra in the municipality of Macau / RN, culminating in the development of the project "Lugar de Circo é na Escola", which became the object of analysis and reflection of this dissertative research. The research develops from the following questions: Why study circus and clown in school? What is the potential of such an action in the school context? Is it possible to teach to be a clown? What methodological possibilities can be used for learning the tricks in school? To answer the questions cited, the research anchors its writing in the qualitative analysis, having as a method the Content Analysis proposed by Bardin (1977). Seeking to understand how the development took place, the involvement of the participants and the unfolding of the artistic / pedagogical project already mentioned, as well as to describe and analyze the pedagogical and methodological course proposed by the teacher for a theoretical / practical study of circus and clowning. The reflections around the research are built and broadened from the relationship established between the development of the project "Circus Place is in School" in the construction of the identity of the clowns (pupils) during the intercross project to the studies of the circus history and of the clownwork in Brazil and in the world, besides pointing out unfolding of this action in the school environment and outside it. For our studies and development of this writing, we dialogued with the following authors, in what concerns the understanding of circus and clownish history in Brazil and in the world, as well as experiential practices related to the theme of this dissertation, for example, Bolognesi (2003), Thebas (2005), Burnier (2001), Lecoq (2010). From Da Arte, the dialogue was with Barbosa (1991) and Desgranges (2003) to understand the pedagogy I used in the development of the project "Place of Circus and in School", so the cited authors provide the basis for sewing the flaps of our pedagogical work.Acesso AbertoEscolaCircoPalhaçoProjeto artístico/pedagógicomasterThesisCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES:: PROFARTES
