BORDANDO HISTÓRIAS E CONFUSÕES: O PROCESSO DE CRIAÇÃO COLETIVA E COLABORATIVA NA OFICINA DE TEATRO NO CENTRO JUVENIL DE CIÊNCIA E CULTURA

Abstract

The present research investigates theatrical functions and analyzes how collective and collaborative creation methodologies can promote a pluralization of knowledge among 3rd-year high school students in the state education system of Salvador, Brazil. The investigation stems from the practical experience lived in a theater workshop held at the Youth Center for Science and Culture (CJCC), as part of the Supervised Internship III course. The hypothesis is that the experience of theatrical functions favors the development of a theater group through collective and collaborative creation methodologies, grounded in self-knowledge and ethics. The study is based on authors such as Jean-Jacques Roubine, Stela Fischer, Liz Novais Pinheiro, Pedro Arnaldo Pinto, Viola Spolin, Marcos Bulhões Martins, Flávio Desgranges, bell hooks, Nina Simone, Peter Brook, Silvia Fernandes, Giorgio Agamben, and Cristiane Barreto. The workshop was structured in two stages, the first focused on collective creation and the second on collaborative creation, respecting the students’ affinities with different theatrical roles. As a teacher, I acted as a mediator of the process, and the work culminated in the presentation of the play “Bordando Histórias e Confusões” (2025). The methodology adopted was qualitative, centered on the participants’ perceptions and transformations. The data indicate that the experimentation of theatrical functions promotes a broader understanding of theatrical practice and contributes to the formation of an ethical, sensitive, and plural collective.
