Orientadora: Lucia Regina Vieira Romano / Banca: Elizabeth Lopes / Banca: Vinicius Torres Machado / Resumo: Partindo da minha formação enquanto atriz junto ao Odin Teatret, e de todos os estudos que as(os) integrantes desse grupo têm realizado acerca do vocabulário da atriz e do ator, busquei conectar teoria e prática, retomando o treinamento que é desenvolvido nessa tradição. Logo no início da pesquisa, o princípio da oposição, por sua recorrente presença nos exercícios e também nos escritos, mostrou-se relevante dentro do processo formativo desse grupo, especialmente no que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento da presença e criação cênicas. Debrucei-me sobre o conceito deste princípio e suas formas de manifestação, levando-me a subdividi-lo em outros quatro: a contraposição, a resistência, a pré-ação e a introversão e extroversão, e ainda, a relacioná-lo com outros estudos, tais como: a mímica moderna de Decroux, a biomecânica de Meyerhold e a expressividade corpórea de Delsarte. Também levei a oposição para dentro da minha cultura, através da Capoeira Angola e do samba brasileiro. Enquanto que, para seu trato em contexto de formação da atriz e do ator, trouxe sua explanação através dos exercícios conduzidos pelas atrizes Julia Varley, Iben Nagel Rasmussen, Roberta Carreri e pelo ator Jan Ferslev, do Odin Teatret, sem deixar, contudo, de abordar o contexto desse trabalho, permeado pela vivência com o grupo em sua sede, na Dinamarca. Tendo esta pesquisa, prioritariamente, um caráter prático e artístico, houve a sua materialização através da criação da demonstração de trabalho O oposto...

At the beginning of the research, due to its recurrent presence in the exercises and in the writings, the principle of opposition presented itself as relevant within this formative process, especially with regard to the development of scenic presence and creation. I focused on this principle concept and its manifestation forms, leading me to subdivide it into four others: counterposition, resistance, pre-action and introversion and extraversion, and also to relate it to other studies, such as: the Decroux's Modern Mime, Meyerhold's biomechanics and Delsarte's corporeal expressiveness. I also brought the opposition into my culture, through Capoeira Angola and Brazilian samba. While, for its use inside the actress and the actor' training, I exposed the exercises conducted by the actresses Julia Varley, Iben Nagel Rasmussen, Roberta Carreri and the actor Jan Ferslev, from Odin Teatret. However, it did not fail to address the context of this work, which was filled up by living with the group at its headquarters in Denmark. Having this research, as a matter of priority, a practical and artistic approach, its materialization came with the creation of the word demonstration The opposite, making possible to relive the practical experience with a pedagogical bias. In addition to the exercises and the historical influences, through the characters and scenes of the performance Stars and The Butterfly Nightmare, and the work demonstration The opposite, all directed by Varley, I presented the incorporation of the opposition in the creation, which proved to be a useful tool in the actress and actor's formation. / Mestre

Com base em pressupostos característicos da forma de produção coletivo-colaborativa do teatro de grupo e da atoralidade, no concernente à atitude criativa composicional da obra (configurando-se em experimento estético histórico-social), defendo a tese segundo a qual as metodologias experienciadas no processo formativo concernem ao modo como se considera a função social do teatro. Assim, ao estabelecer um campo de disputa simbólica, a arte contra-hegemônica intenta uma busca de alternativas e resistência, que cria novas formas de organização e relações sociais. Nesse sentido, evidenciam-se, na reflexão, as influências do teatro livre, político, agitpropista e do teatro épico para a criação dos estúdios e do sujeito histórico teatro de grupo, coligindo produção artística e formação cultural. Parte da produção teatral europeia, desde o final do século XIX e início do século XX instigou a reação de opositores, que instaurou o processo de retomada do movimento hegemônico realista. No Brasil, a ascendência do livre verificou-se na produção teatral do chamado teatro da militância, principalmente, no Teatro de Arena, Teatro Paulista do Estudante ...

Based on typical assumptions of form of collective-collaborative production of the theater group and interpreter as an author, with regard to compositional creative attitude of the work (setting in socio-historical aesthetic experiment), I defend the thesis that the experienced methodologies in formative process concern the way in which the social function of theater is considered. Thus, in establishing a field of symbolic dispute, anti- hegemonic art seeks a search for alternatives and resistance, which create new forms of organization and social relations. In this sense, becomes evident in the reflexion the influence of the free, political, agitprop and epic theater to the creation of the studios and the group theater as a historical subject, gathering artistic production and cultural formation. Part of the European theater production, from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century instigated the reaction of opponents, which set the process of reviving the hegemonic realist movement. In Brazil, the ancestry of the free was verified in the theatrical production of the so-called theater of militancy, mainly in the Teat... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

O objetivo da reflexão e pesquisa desenvolvidas nessa pesquisa consiste em estudar a relação entre a estimulação das habilidades do processamento auditivo e a percepção auditiva da própria fala. Sendo assim, buscou-se verificar, ao estimularmos as habilidades do processamento auditivo e de processos correlatos, se modificamos a percepção auditiva a respeito dos recursos expressivos utilizados durante a gravação de uma leitura dramática, realizada por cinco estudantes de Teatro. Para complementar o conjunto de dados a serem analisados, incluímos as respostas de um questionário, a respeito do comportamento auditivo e de seus correlatos, aplicado no início e reaplicado seis meses após o término da pesquisa. Também contamos com informações relacionadas à elaboração da proposta expressiva para a leitura dramática. Os resultados indicaram uma pluralidade de respostas entre as (os) estudantes, o que nos permitiu refletir a respeito do processo pedagógico de cada uma (um), a partir de diversas relações comparativas. Apesar das (os) estudantes terem mobilizado para a leitura dramática diversos recursos expressivos relacionados à emoção e à intenção, poucas (os) os reconheceram auditivamente na gravação feita no início do processo. A partir de resultados, foi possível relacionar o proposto para a leitura dramática com o que foi percebido nas duas análises perceptivo-auditivas feitas pelas (os) estudantes, uma no início e outra no final da pesquisa. De modo que nos permitiu inferir conclusões propositivas, dentre as quais, destacamos o reconhecimento do quanto integrar a ação de produzir sonoridades orais, com a ação de “sentir algo”, pode ser relevante para atrizes e atores aumentarem a consistência em perceber auditivamente os recursos expressivos relacionados à emoção e à intenção que, geralmente, propõem, mas sem ouvirem-se, comumentemente. Ao término da pesquisa reconhecemos que de nada valeria realizá-la se não pudéssemos nos modificar a cada dia. / The present research aims to present and reflect from the results obtained through a pedagogical process developed with students of Arts and Drama degree of the Arts Institute of UNESP. The goal of the study consists of the relation between the hearing process abilities stimulation and the auditory perception of the own speech. This way, it will be verified if as long as the hearing process abilities and related processes are stimulated the auditory perception is modified concerning the significant resources used during a dramatic reading recording made by five drama students. In order to complement the data set to be analyzed, survey answers about the hearing behavior and related ones were included and applied at the beginning of the research and other ones six months after the end of the research as well as information related to significant proposal elaboration to a dramatic reading. The students were analyzed individually and the results indicated the plurality of answers among them which allowed us to reflect on the pedagogical process of each one from several comparative relations. Although the students have proposed to the dramatic reading many significant resources related to their emotion and to their intention, only few recognized, aurally, during the recording made at the beginning of this research. Based on results like this one, it was possible to relate what was proposed to the dramatic reading to what was understood in both auditory perceptive analysis made at the beginning and at the end of the research by the students. So, it allowed us to infer proposal conclusions which we would like to emphasize the recognition of how much we integrate the action of making oral sounds to the action of feeling something could be relevant to actresses and actors in order to make them more aware of increasing the consistence of auditory perception of significant resources related to the emotion and intention which they are only used to propose and not to hear. At the end of the research, we recognized it would not be worth making it if we could not modify ourselves each day.

Cette thèse cherche à analyser les trois tournées de l’actrice française Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) au Brésil, précisément dans les villes de Rio de Janeiro et Sao Paulo. Les voyages datant de 1886, 1893, 1905. Cette étude a comme arrière-plan les réflexions autour de la circulation culturelle et de la mondialisation de la culture au XIXe siècle. On considère les voyages Sarah Bernhardt comme un exemple précieux du processus de diffusion du théâtre français et d’internationalisation des publics. Coté brésilien, on percevra que cette même période, marquée par une forte présence artistique étrangère, est aussi le moment où les Brésiliens (ou du moins l’élite lettrée du pays) cherchent à penser l’identité du pays, tout en édifiant l’art dramatique national. L’enjeu de cette thèse est alors de comprendre comment la présence théâtrale étrangère se place dans ce contexte. Plus qu’une étude sur une « influence théâtrale » française au Brésil, l’objectif des pages qui suivent est de réfléchir à la formation de la pratique artistique brésilienne dans le cadre d’un processus plus large de mondialisation de la culture au XIXe siècle – où le théâtre occupe une place majeure. En ce qui concerne précisément Sarah Bernhardt, cette thèse cherche à démontrer l’importance de l’actrice dans ce phénomène. Grande étoile médiatique de la période, Sarah est, dans le même temps, liée au grand théâtre français de répertoire. La question est alors de comprendre comment ce « grand théâtre » se diffuse internationalement, tout en s’imprégnant des stratégies commerciales de l’industrie théâtrale de l’époque. Dans ce sens, on se demandera comment l’actrice construit son image à l’étranger, plus particulièrement au Brésil, et quelle partie du « marché » culturelle cherche-t-elle à dominer, soutenue par ses imprésarios. En un mot comment la « Sarah Barnum* » se veut-elle également ambassadrice du génie français ? Référence à l’entrepreneur de spectacles américain Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891). Il était connu pour ses affaires très prospères dans le domaine culturel. Le Cirque Barnum, fondé en 1871 est devenu l’un des plus connus de l’époque et a rassemblé des artistes provenant de divers pays. Dans le monumental ouvrage édité par Noel Daniel sur le cirque aux Etats-Unis entre 1850 et 1950, Linda Granfield remarque l’importance de Barnum : « Aujourd’hui encore, les hommes d’affaires du monde entier étudient la conférence donnée par Barnum en 1858 et intitulée The Art of Money Getting («L’Art de faire de l’argent »). Il y exposait sa vision de la réussite financière et déclarait : « Aux Etats-Unis où nous avons plus de terres que d’habitants, il n’est pas difficile pour une personne en bonne santé de prospérer ». (Granfield, Linda. « Un vent de folie souffle sur la ville » In Noel Daniel (ed.), The circus 1850-1950. New York : Éditions Taschen, 2008. p.53) Les titres des différentes parties de son discours comme « Quoique que vous entrepreniez, mettez-y toute votre énergie », « Lisez la presse » et, une des  clefs de sa réussite, « Faites de la publicité », continuent d’inspirer les entrepreneurs à ce jour. Le surnom « Sarah Barnum » a été employé par l’actrice Marie Colombier, dans un livre qui proposait de témoigner de la tournée de Sarah Bernhardt en Amérique. L’ouvrage paru en 1883, qui a fait scandale : « Les Mémoires de Sarah Barnum » cherchait clairement à donner l’image d’une Sarah Bernhardt cabotine et intéressée par le profit, tout comme le grand imprésario américain Taylor Barnum. Voir Marie Colombier, Voyages de Sarah Bernhardt en Amérique. Paris : C. Marpon et E. Flammarion Éditeurs, 1887. / This work proposes an analysis of the french actress Sarah Bernhardt's (1844-1923) three tours in Brazil, precisely in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in 1886, 1893, 1905. Taking the thoughts about the flow of artists and the cultural globalization of the 19th century as a background, the present study considers Sarah Bernhardt tours as a precious example of the French theater diffusion process and of the internalization of audiences. In what regards Brazil, it is noticeable that the referred period, marked by a strong foreign artistic presence, is also the moment in which the country’s literate elite reflected about a project of a nation and about the construction of a national dramatic art. The focus of this thesis is, therefore, to locate Sarah Bernhardt’s tours in this panorama. More than a study about French “theatrical influence” in Brazil, our main goal is to ponder about the construction of the Brazilian artistic practice in a context of a broader process of cultural globalization in the 19th century, in which theater played a fundamental role. In what concerns Sarah Bernhardt specifically, this thesis intends to demonstrate the actress’s relevance in this phenomenon. Sarah was a great media star and, at the same time, associated to the french theater erudite repertoire. It attempts, therefore, to understand in what way this “repertory theater” is internationally broadcasted, also impregnating itself with commercial strategies common to the period’s theater industry. In that sense, the construction of the actress’s image abroad, specially in Brazil, is questioned. Also, what part of the cultural “market” Sarah Bernhardt and her managers tried to dominate is evaluated. In other words, how did the actress became Sarah Barnum, with a flair of ambassador of the génie français ?

Today modern scholars only have few records left that discusses the plebeian women from the Roman society. One group that is known are females who appeared on the Roman stage as dancers and actresses. This paper serves to discuss those two groups. It will focus on the Roman authors attitudes towards female actresses and dancers during the 1 century BC from two points of views: terminology and descriptions. The study will prioritize text passages from three ancient Roman authors during the investigative time-period with focus on three women: Volumnia Cytheris, Dionysia, and Arbuscula. These women, could if successful, integrate the elite society and gain richness and reputation. They often had names and terminology that represented and identified them to a specific social class in the Roman society. These women’s lives, have mostly during the 21 centuries, been discussed and debated from different gender and class aspects with focus to increase our understanding about them. A discussion this paper tends to contribute to.

The aim of this thesis is to capture the view of young (professionally) generation of actors and actresses who have played in at least one film or television film with the theme of the history of the twentieth century, on problems of contemporary history and historical subjects in the film. Another aim is to examine the reflection of the risks or benefits of film processing or historical events affecting the film medium itself, survivors from among the family members of narrators and schooling. Research is conducted through qualitative methods based on interviews with fourteen respondents, together with an analysis of film and television works, in which individual respondents portraying their roles. This is a case study of called "exclusive" group of artists. The thesis also deals with the question of the actor's "empathy" in character. Key words: Actors and actresses, Image of history, Historical subject, Film, Empathy

The late nineteenth century British stage was hopelessly confused. It couldn’t decide whether it was London’s principle source of entertainment—mainstream and respectable enoughfor Queen Victoria herself to patronize—or the seedbed of all corruption and deviance in Victorian society. At the center of this split identity was the actress, a figure both well-beloved (in the case of stars like Ellen Terry) and the literal embodiment of everything a Victorian women shouldn’t be—loose, sexualized, and working (in the case of her contemporary, Olga Nethersole). Because of this liminal position, Victorian actresses thus create a fascinatingmicrocosm in which to study the implications of performativity and performance in late nineteenth century society. I argue that stars like Terry and Nethersole, though they did so by opposite means, deliberately performed multiple roles, both on stage and in society, in order to enjoy the autonomy they craved—one unavailable to the majority of Victorian women.The biographies of both actresses reveal compelling paradoxes. Terry, though respectedenough to be compared to the “ideal” Victorian woman (the proverbial “Angel in the House”), was in reality a fallen woman. Olga Nethersole, on the other hand, built her career on playing fallen woman roles, yet lived an upright and unremarkable private life. Despite these differences, however, both women rose to great heights of fame and earned careers, funds, and power overtheir lives and relationships that most women of the century would never dream of. This thesis investigates the anomaly of autonomous Victorian actresses through the lens of performance theory. Drawing upon the concepts of liminality and social performativity, introduced largely by performance studies scholars like Richard Schechner and Marvin Carlson, I work toward a practical connection between performance on the stage and performativity in society that remainslargely unexplored in the field of Victorian theatrical studies. Ultimately, I am shedding light onthe paradoxical, dual function of performance; as demonstrated in the lives of these two actresses, it has the potential to simultaneously reinforce societal norms and to protest against them.
