This study examines the process of theatrical direction as a communication system. Its components are described in terms of their function as elements of a communication process. The communication activities within the theatrical process are analyzed by means of four categories of theatrical communication networks: conceptual, aesthetic, observational, and social. Theories of communication have been surveyed and then applied to the theatrical process. Particular attention is paid to role functions of the director within the social and the aesthetic networks. The conclusion reached in the study is that the effectiveness of the communication networks used in theatrical directing is determined by the functional roles and the leadership styles adopted by the director as he participates in these networks.

Esta dissertação trata sobre o potencial formativo dos registros durante o processo criativo da encenação em sala de aula. O trabalho parte dos estudos da crítica genética literária, por meio do pensamento de Cecília Almeida Salles, e da Genética Teatral, a partir do pensamento de Josette Féral e Almuth Grésillon sobre a problemática lançada de como fazer os registros em teatro. Esta pesquisa problematiza a efemeridade da encenação diante do processo de registro. A partir disso, é utilizado o processo de montagem do espetáculo A História Secreta da Lua, de autoria da pesquisadora, releitura do mito judaico-cristão da criação humana, com uma turma de treze alunos do ensino médio do Colégio de Aplicação da UFRGS. A pesquisa buscou alternativas para conceber o livro de encenação e refletir sobre a prática do teatro performativo como pedagogia teatral. Buscou-se estabelecer relações entre o processo de criação e o processo de aprendizagem em teatro. A pesquisa baseia-se nos Estudos da Performance para apontar indicadores de pesquisa dentro do campo da Genética Teatral que possibilitem a fabricação dos registros presentes no livro de encenação e as consequências dessa busca no caminho de aprendizagem dos alunos-atores em situação colaborativa de criação. Por intermédio de registros em grupo fechado, colhidos da rede social Facebook, bem como fotografias e registros retirados de gravações em vídeo e diário de trabalho, busca analisar os principais caminhos percorridos para os registros produzidos. Durante esse percurso, os registros colhidos foram selecionados e reunidos na materialidade do livro de encenação, que é resultado do processo, revela quando a qualidade performativa dos registros e contribuindo para o processo de aprendizagem dos alunos-atores por intermédio da indissociabilidade entre os processos criativo e pedagógico. Essa indissociabilidade demonstrou que há uma ampliação do aprendizado para outras referências artísticas além do território do teatro. Os registros quanto ao seu elemento formativo demonstraram ser hábeis em revelar qualidades como: o nível de envolvimento dos alunos no processo criativo e o fortalecimento da identidade de grupo, além de atuar como concretude de uma prática docente que pode ser consultada como referencial mnemônico do processo e mais especificamente dos elementos da encenação. Os registros mostram pela materialidade do livro igualmente, possibilidades de desdobramento na esfera artística e pedagógica o que reforça a constatação da performatividade dos mesmos. / This dissertation deals with the formative potential of the records during the creative staging process in the classroom. The work is based from the genetic literary criticism studies from the thoughts of Cecilia Almeida Salles and of the Theatrical Genetics from the thoughts of Josette Féral and Almuth Grésillon about the issue launched on how to make the records in theater. This research discusses the ephemerality of the staging facing the registration process. From this on, it is used the assembly process of the show The Secret History of the Moon, written by the researcher, reinterpretation of the Jewish-Christian myth of the human creation, with a group of thirteen high school students of the UFRGS Application High School. The research sought for alternatives to conceive the staging book and reflect about the practice of the performative theater as theatrical pedagogy. It attempted to establish relationships between the process of creation and the learning process in theater. The research is based on the Performance Studies to point indicators of the research within the Theatrical Genetics field which enable the production of the records presented in the staging book and the consequences of this quest in the path of the learning of the students- actors in the collaborative situation of the creation . Through the records in closed group picked from the Facebook social network, as well as photographs and records taken from video recordings and daily work, seeks to analyze the main paths taken for the records produced. Along the way the selected records were chosen and gathered in the materiality of the staging book, which is the result of the process, revealing the performative quality of the records and contributing to the learning process of the students-actors through the inseparability between the creative and pedagogical processes. This inseparability demonstrated that there is an extension of the learning for the other artistic references beyond the territory of the theatre. The records regarding to their formative element proved to be skillful in revealing qualities such as: the level of the involvement of the students in the creative process and the strengthening of the group identity, besides acting as a concreteness of a teaching practice that can be consulted as a mnemonic reference of the process and more specifically of the staging elements. The records show by the materiality of the book also the possibilities of the deployment in the artistic and pedagogical spheres which reinforces the finding of the performativity of thereof.
