FARAIMORÁ: UMA POÉTICA DIDÁTICO-PEDAGÓGICA DE TEATRO NEGRO

Abstract

The idea of this research is the creation of a didactic-methodological proposal for teaching theater, based on black cultures (black theater). Therefore, the main objective is to develop a set of games, the Faraimorá Guide, inspired by the symbolic and gestural orixás’s universe, in the iconic black individuals gestures and political groups (movements), as well as in the Tree of Forgetfulness, Door of No Return (monuments built in the city of Ouidah-Benin) and the Bakongo of the Cosmogram (bantu cosmology), borrowed from African cultures. This proposal is targeted at teachers and those aspiring to teaching theater and aims to produce didactic- pedagogical material for teaching performing arts, inspired by the black theater. It' is hoped that this research can add to other academic pieces, of an anti-racist nature, in the Performing Arts, in order to contribute to reducing the gap in pedagogical approaches of theater with a focus on worldviews and black cultures experiences in the curricula. The methodological approach of this research is qualitative and takes place within the scope of Theater pedagogy and research in Performing Arts. Descriptive and reflective, this theoretical study proposes a material and original result: the Handbook (Guide). As a theoretical basis, bibliographic research will be used in secondary sources and reflections arising from my practice as a theater teacher and black theater actress. The main theoretical references of this study are: Leda Maria Martins, Julio Moracen Naranjo, Kabengele Munanga, Evani Tavares Lima, Nilma Lino Gomes, Sandra Haydée Petit, Inaicyra Falcão dos Santos, Beatriz Nascimento and Abdias do Nascimento. The concepts that guide the study presented here are: Ancestry, Identity and Citizenship.
