Escrita para a Terra: O desenho como portal de comunicação de mundos.

Abstract

This final course paper aims to analyze and challenge the hegemony of written words as the sole vehicle for dramaturgical production. It seeks to practically explore alternative communication and writing mediums, specifically using drawing and lines as languages and possibilities for narrative development. The study focuses on the workshop “Drawing as a Portal of Communication: Exploring Graphisms as Possibilities for Scenic Narratives,” which was conducted as part of the Supervised Internship III course. The workshop targeted young people and the elderly from the Gantois, Nova Constituinte, and Bom Juá communities. The reflections center on theatre and the arts as tools employed by colonization, ecocide resulting from an urban/capitalist/consumerist social model grounded in Eurocentric reasoning, and diversity and plurality as gateways to Earth-centered education and the decentralization of the dominant writing paradigm, which contributes to cultural distancing and erasure. The workshop utilized techniques such as traditional toys and visual, auditory, sensory, and synesthetic stimuli to evoke expression through writing, drawing, and scribbling. The theoretical framework draws on the educational pedagogical practices of Dona Liça Pataxoop and is further informed by the works of authors such as Kaká Werá, Jaider Esbell, Juão Nyn, Ailton Krenak, Alexandra Dumas, Leda Maria Martins, Lélia Gonzalez, Nego Bispo, Paulo Freire, Domingo Adame, and others.
