Num primeiro momento, esteve vinculada à crítica literária, depois passou a ter vida própria e se solidificou. Ainda que tenhamos muitas maneiras de registrar a cena, o teatro continua uma arte da presença, o que dificulta sua captura. O historiador, por sua vez, faz escolhas, recortes e constrói caminhos. O objetivo deste estudo é discutir as práticas e as ideias teatrais de Flávio de Carvalho, já que seus experimentos e escritos estão inseridos num momento decisivo para o teatro no Brasil, que é a sua modernização com o início dos anos de 1920, com Renato Vianna e Álvaro Moreyra na proa e sua consolidação décadas depois. Flávio de Carvalho com o Teatro Experiência e com a montagem do espetáculo O Bailado do Deus Morto, com a Experiência N° 2 e com a Experiência Nº 3, por exemplo, já reivindica, a partir dos anos de 1930, um teatro feito para a cena e para o ator. A iluminação, o cenário, o texto e o corpo do ator, enfim, passam a ser pesquisados fora da hierarquia convencional que tinha na tríade texto, ator principal e empresário a espinha dorsal de um espetáculo. Por isso, considero que a análise das ideias e das práticas teatrais de Flávio de Carvalho à luz da história e da estética pode abrir novos espaços e sugerir novos modos de olhar nossa história teatral.

Este é um estudo descritivo, de cunho, hipotético-indutivo, baseado em fontes primárias e secundárias. Neste estudo, Um olhar sobre o Teatro Negro do Teatro Experimental do Negro e do Bando de Teatro O/odum, realizamos uma análise do teatro negro sob o ponto de vista de sua especificidade racial. Teatro negro, aqui concebido, como o teatro cuja base fundamental é a afirmação da identidade negra, associada a proposições estéticas de matriz africana, embasadas em questões existenciais e político-ideológicas negras. A perspectiva com a qual trabalhamos é que o teatro negro, da maneira como se configura, instaura uma reflexão inusitada no teatro brasileiro, no que diz respeito à praxis e estética cênicas; à animação e tratamento corpo-vocal do ator; a partir de elementos e abordagens fundados na cultura de matriz afro-brasileira. Utilizando como aporte as experiências do Teatro Experimental do Negro e do Bando de Teatro Olodum, procuramos levantar as especificidades e implicações apresentadas por esse teatro negro, bem como suas proposições e contribuições ao teatro brasileiro. / Abstract: This research is part of the UNICAMP Graduation Program in Arts, and is enrolled at the Art and Society Research Orientation. It is a descriptive, hypothetical inductive study based on primary and secondary sources In this study, which examines the Black Theatre of the Teatro Experimental do Negro [Experimental Black Theatre] and at the Bando de Teatro Olodum [Olodum Theatre Group], we analyse the black theatre apart from its racial particularities. We understand the Black Theatre as the theatre whose fundamental objective is to state the'black identity using African aesthetic references, based on existential and political-ideological black issues. Our hypothesis is that the black theatre, in the way it is organized, presents to the Brazilian theatre an an unusual point view regarding the practice and the aesthetic of the theatre, such as the expressions of the actor's body and voice, which are based on Afro-Brazilian culture and approach. Considering the experiences of these groups (Teatro Experimental do Negro and Bando de Teatro Olodum), we will try to find the particularities of the black theatre and the proposals it brings to Brazilian theatre. / Doutorado / Artes / Doutor em Artes

O objetivo primordial era dar ao ator negro condições de levar aos palcos personagens livres dos estereótipos que foram sendo absorvidos e reproduzidos pelo teatro brasileiro especialmente a partir do século XIX. O moleque de recado levando cascudo, a mãe preta chorosa e o negro representado de maneira quase bestial seriam ignorados para dar lugar a um negro humanizado com seus próprios dramas e questionamentos. O ator branco brochado de preto, tão comum no teatro brasileiro, daria lugar ao negro real. Amplamente a iniciativa do TEN implicou na recusa de um lugar pré-determinado para o negro no palco e na sociedade brasileira, e o questionamento desta determinação que o teatro mostrava como reflexo de toda sociedade. Assim, ao ser pensado como sujeito do próprio destino o negro a que o TEN queria atingir deveria assumir boa parte da responsabilidade para integrar-se, sem perder de vista a luta por condições efetivas para isso. Este objetivo determinou a abrangência de sua intervenção que assumiu uma série de reivindicações que o grupo reconhecia como parte da demanda da população negra brasileira, e que tentava abarcar através dos diversos projetos e eventos realizados. A investigação da trajetória do grupo e sua estratégia de ação mostram a maneira como esta iniciativa tão importante do movimento negro brasileiro relacionou-se com seu contexto / Abstract: In October 1944 in Rio de Janeiro a group formed by black women and men, having as its leader the black activist Abdias do Nascimento was created: the Experimental Black Theater. Its prime aim was to give black actors and actresses conditions to take to stage characters free from the stereotyped vision that was being reproduced and absorbed specially after the 19th century. Black people represented in an inhumane way were about to be ignored, to make room for the Negro with his own questions and dilemmas. The white actor painted black, so common in the Brazilian theater, would also be substituted. Widely the group initiative also represented the refuse of a role, not only in theater, but also in society, that the stage represented very clearly. Considered the subject of his own destiny the blacks were asked to assume a great part of the responsibility to himself integrated, but always claiming for real integration conditions. This objective was determinant for the development of a wide proposal of the group. And the investigation of its trajectory and its strategy of action shows the way this important initiative of the Brazilian black movement was it connected to its context / Mestrado / Pensamento Social / Mestre em Sociologia

Nous souhaitons penser l’improvisation théâtrale « libre » dans une continuité de nature avec le théâtre à deux temps. L’improvisation théâtrale s’est en effet déterminée au cours des quarante dernières années comme un champ à part, avec son histoire et ses règles propres. En nous consacrant à l’improvisation « libre », nous considérons une improvisation qui ne fait pas intervenir a priori de structure d’ensemble, de règles formelles ou stylistiques, qui laisse aux improvisateurs la responsabilité de les déterminer eux-mêmes. Si ce type d’improvisation est courant en musique ou en danse, il reste rare ou ponctuel au théâtre. C’est à travers la notion d’acteur-créateur, telle que l’ont définie Alain Knapp et le Théâtre-Création, que nous la retrouvons. Ce groupe (Lausanne, 1968–1975) a été l’un des premiers en Europe à produire des spectacles improvisés sur des thèmes proposés parle public. Alain Knapp, en héritier de Brecht, nous aide à penser un acteur-créateur qui se distingue de l’improvisateur contemporain par son autonomie créatrice, et par l’attention qu’il porte à l’inscription de ses actes artistiques dans un contexte et une histoire. Revenant à aujourd’hui, nous réinvestissons cette notion d’acteur-créateur à travers celle de performativité. Un ensemble d’expériences et un laboratoire de recherche-action centré sur les perspectives (viewpoints) nous permettent de développer une conception pratique de l’improvisation comme étude d’un contexte par un répertoire. Enfin, ayant explicité quelle liberté est à l’oeuvre dans l’improvisation « libre »et comment la reconnaître, nous décrivons le continuum qui relie cette dernière à la représentation verrouillée. / We want to think of free-improvisation in theater in a continuity with traditional theatre. Theatrical improvisation has indeed grown over the last forty years as a separate field, with its ownrules and history. By dedicating ourselves to free-improvisation, we concentrate on an improvisation that does not involve a preconceived overall structure, or formal or stylistic rules, which leaves improvisers with the responsibility to decide them on the spot. Whereas common in music and dance, free-improvisation is rare or occasional in theatre. It is approached through the notion of actor-creator, as it was defined by Alain Knapp and the Théâtre-Création. This group (Lausanne,1968-1975 ) was one of the first in Europe to perform improvised plays on themes proposed by the audience. Drawing a lot from Brecht, Alain Knapp’s actor-creator has a creative autonomy and pay great detail to the way his artistic acts are inscribed in a given background and history.This distinguishes him from contemporary improvisers. Back to the present, we renew the notion of actor-creator through performativity. A set of experiments and a laboratory focused on Mary Overlie’s Viewpoints allow us to develop a practical approach to improvisation as a study of a context through a repertoire. Finally, having explained which idea of liberty is at work in free-improvisationand how to recognize it, we describe a continuum that connects it to set performances.

The beginning of the new millennium finds documentary theatre serving as teacher and “healer” to those suffering and in need. By providing a thought provoking awareness of the “other,” it offers a unique lens with which to examine the socio-political similarities and differences between various cultures and ethnicities in order to promote intercultural understanding. Documentary is also used by teachers, therapists, and researchers as a tool for healing. By sharing personal stories of trauma and illness with others who are experiencing similar difficulties, emotional pains are alleviated and fears are assuaged. Documentary theatre has expanded in definition from the “epic dramas” of German playwrights Erwin Piscator and Bertholt Brecht during the height of the German Weimar Republic to the recent “verbatim” scripts of playwrights such as Anna Deveare Smith, Emily Mann, and Robin Soans. The dramaturgical duties of the playwright along with the participatory role of the audience have grown in complexity. In verbatim documentary the playwright must straddle a fine line between educating and entertaining while remaining faithful to the words of the respondents as well as to the context in which they were received. The audience, by responding to questionnaires and by engaging in talk-back sessions, plays a pivotal role in production. Documentary serves as an important vehicle for informing and inspiring audiences from all walks of life. In 2010, researchers Dr. Patricia Liehr of the Christine E. Lynn School of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University and Dr. Ryutaro Takahashi, Vice Director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology, approached me to create a documentary based on their combined interviews of Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima survivors. The resultant script, With Their Voices Raised, is included as an appendix to this dissertation as an example of the documentary genre and its unique capacity for research dissemination. With Their Voices Raised not only conveys the memories and fears of the survivors, but in its conclusion reveals how these victims of war have elected to live their lives in a quest for peace- choosing “hope over hate” in a shared world / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
