A trajetória de Eugênio Kusnet, de ator a professor, é o objeto deste projeto. Vamos averiguar que, desde quando retomou seus vínculos com o teatro no Brasil, Kusnet era um ator em formação, com pouca experiência artística no seu país de origem - a Rússia, de onde emigrou para o Brasil. Veremos que a compreensão da obra daquele que foi sua maior influência, Constantin Stanislavski, aconteceu de forma gradativa e observaremos de que modo ele a aplicou exemplarmente na encenação de Os Pequenos Burgueses no Teatro Oficina, na década de 1960. Destacaremos a viagem que Kusnet fez de volta a Rússia em 1968, que provocou nele mudanças que permaneceram entre suas inquietações até o final da vida. Vamos nos deter principalmente no que ele denominou como Método da Análise Ativa e investigar como aplicava este procedimento, no qual a direção e os atores de uma peça teatral abandonam os exaustivos estudos do texto sentados ao redor de uma mesa e passam a analisá-lo com as pernas, isto é, experimentando compreender a dimensão da obra teatral através de improvisações planejadas. Os três livros que deixou, principalmente o último, Ator e Método - que é para nós uma síntese dos dois anteriores (Iniciação à arte dramática e Introdução ao Método da Ação Inconsciente) - é o guia para entender o ponto de vista de Eugênio Kusnet, a tradução prática e teórica no Brasil dos elementos, procedimentos e princípios que ele absorveu de Stanislavski e dos discípulos que trabalharam ao lado do mestre russo / The object of this study is the trajectory of Eugênio Kusnet, from actor to professor. It will investigate that, since he had retaken his linkages with the brazilian theater, Kusnet was an ator in formation with little artistic experience in his homeland, Russia. We will see that the compreension of Constantin Stanislavski\'s work, his greatest influence, happened gradually. Starting from the Teatro Oficina\'s staging of Os Pequenos Burgueses in the sixties, we will observate how we aplied Stanislavski\'s method. This work gives a highlight on Kusnet\'s travel back to his homeland Russia in 1968, and the significant changes that this experience contribuied to his work until his final days. It will examine what he called \"Active Analyse Method\" and see how he applied this procedure, wich consist in abandoning the table-read (read-through) by the actors and the director and starting to analyse it \"with the legs\", or in other words, by experimeting the dimension of the theatrical work trough planned improvisation. The three books that he left, specially the last one, Ator e Método - wich is, by our comprehension, a synthesis of the former two (Iniciação à arte dramática e Introdução ao Método da Ação Inconsciente) - is the guide to understand Eugênio Kusnet\'s point of view, the practical and theoretical translation in Brasil of the elements, procedures and principles that he has absorbed from Stanislavski and the disciples that worked with the russian master

The thesis investigates the field of Theatre practice variously referred to as alternative, non-mainstream, avant-garde, community or fringe theatre. I have suggested the term 'Radical Group Theatre' - a term which, I believe, best encompasses the sector formerly represented by this diverse body of theatre practice. I focus on the relationship between theoretical and practical paradigms, and debates surrounding them; theatre making processes; and directorial practice in a theatre form which has emerged as a distinctive set of characteristics, ideological frameworks and practices in the Australian context. The work is strongly informed by the perspectives and practices of a range of major contributors to the field. It notes the inadequacy of conventional analytics and established understandings of the theory/practice nexus for exploring Radical Group Theatre, and establishes an alternate set of frameworks. These enable fresh engagement with the development and current praxis of an important theatre form which has not previously been considered as a whole field yet has taken particularly exciting directions in Australia over the past three decades. Methodology and objectives: An important aspect of the study is the way in which the research methodology parallels the practice under investigation. That is, the practice of Radical Group Theatre in Australia mirrors the 'Reflective Reflexive Loop' which I propose as the pre-eminent principle of the praxis. The methodology has developed out of my Masters degree research which was an interrogation of my directorial practice in the field of Youth/Community theatre, 1976-1989. I was further interested to analyse the field of group theatre to determine whether common key principles identified as characteristics of the form in the earlier study constituted the basis for an analytical model of Radical Group Theatre praxis. The investigation for this thesis began with a project designed to synthesise the essential qualities of directorial practice: the qualities of the good director, the major influences on practice, and the expectations participants have regarding the function of the director. The preliminary findings formed the basis for a comparative study which sought answers to the key questions as they apply to a pre-professional radical theatre setting - university student theatre. This project gave birth to the focus questions of the study which established the theoretical and methodological frames for the thesis.

Una ricerca che si prefigga di studiare la danza teatrale nel Settecento s’imbatte inevitabilmente in un nodo problematico: l’oggetto della ricerca non è (più). Di esso sono rimaste soltanto alcune tracce, ovvero una serie di materiali eterogenei che si presentano come effetti capaci di mostrare la causalità della causa – l’oggetto vacante – ma non la sua forma. A partire dalle opere riformatrici di G. Angiolini e J.G. Noverre nonché dai testi di diversi filosofi coevi interessati allo statuto del gesto, la tesi interroga la congerie di effetti sopravvissuta al ballet d’action per approfondire la danza come forma artistica e forma del sapere all’interno del più ampio sistema della rappresentazione. Nello specifico la tesi si propone di mostrare come il segno negativo che contraddistingue variamente la disciplina tersicorea e il dibattito critico su di essa nel XVIII secolo sia da ricondurre più propriamente all’essenziale matrice espressiva del gesto stesso e abbia contribuito a un progressivo slittamento del paradigma classico della mimesi della natura da un’accezione “imitativo-riproduttiva” a una “espressivo-creativa”. / A research that aims at examining the theatrical dance in the XVIII century is bound to face a problematic crux: the research object is not anymore. Some traces have remained, namely, a series of various materials able to show the causality of the cause – the vacant object – but not its form. The survey starts from the revolutionary works by G. Angiolini and J.G. Noverre and goes through different philosophicals texts of authors who were interested in the status of the gesture; it questions the bunch of effects which overcame the ballet d’action in order to look into the dance as a form of art and knowledge within the wider system of representation. Particularly, the research wants to show as the negative sign which marks this discipline and the XVIII critical debate on it has to be referred to the essential expressive nature of the gesture which led to a progressive shifting of the classic paradigm of the mimesis of nature from being “imitative-reproductive” to become “expressive-creative”

This research aims to chart four modes of engagement in post-verite documentary films, devoted to an exclusive examination of theatrical formats, that being those documentaries which are originally intended for a cinema audience. As these theatrical documentaries provide a means for spectators to see through the cinema screen and into the real world, it is important to understand how this 'seeing through' is constructed by the documentary production itself. This thesis acknowledges that the 'learning' of documentary stories and subjects has broadened for the global audience of today. After exploring various separate critiques of documentary voice theory, the definition of documentary and film semiotics, I have devised eight paradigms for creating this 'learning' or 'documentary consciousness' in these theatrical or cinema documentaries. I have explored how these eight paradigms can be observed to function in four different modes. These modes contribute to an evolving understanding of viewer comprehension; that thing called documentary consciousness. This is demonstrated through the audio-visual appendix of clips taken from the proto-typical theatrical documentaries I have chosen to analyse, which are: 'Bowling For Columbine' by Michael Moore (2003), which is illustrative of what I have dubbed the 'Outcome Mode'; 'Etre et Avoir' ('To Be And To Have') by Nicholas Philibert (2004), which exemplifies what I call the 'Participant Mode'; 'My Architect' by Nathaniel Kahn (2005), an example of the 'Journey Mode'; 'Baraka' by Magidson Films (1996), a model of the 'Mandala Mode'.

À la fin des années 1940, une nouvelle avant-garde théâtrale fait son apparition dans les petites salles de la Rive gauche à Paris : le théâtre « de l’absurde », désigné ainsi par le critique britannique Martin Esslin. Cette écriture dramatique novatrice, qui parvient à s’imposer rapidement auprès du public français et international, connaît sur les scènes ouest-allemandes un succès durable. La présente thèse s’emploie à mettre au jour le processus de transfert et les modalités de réception en République Fédérale d’Allemagne des œuvres des principaux représentants de ce mouvement : Arthur Adamov, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet et Eugène Ionesco.À partir de sources inédites issues des archives, il s’agit de reparcourir les trajectoires des médiateurs de cette importation culturelle, de retracer la chronologie de la réception et de souligner la diversité des supports utilisés, théâtraux, radiophoniques et télévisuels. La circulation des œuvres dans le paysage théâtral ouest-allemand entre 1949 et 1989 est étudiée dans ses différentes étapes, de leur découverte par les maisons d’éditions à leurs traductions, créations scéniques majeures et enfin leur accueil par la presse spécialisée et le public dans son ensemble. Par nature cosmopolite, le répertoire théâtral « de l’absurde » a été doté dans la culture d’accueil ouest-allemande d’une dimension internationale qui a favorisé la réussite de son intégration. Ce travail ouvre ainsi un chapitre inédit dans l’histoire de l’Allemagne, de sa culture et de son théâtre comme, plus largement, des relations culturelles franco-allemandes. / At the end of the 1940s, a new theatrical avant-garde appears on the small stages of the Left Bank in Paris: the theatre of the “absurd”, as conceptualised by the British drama critic Martin Esslin. This innovative dramatic writing style succeeds in establishing itself with the French and international public, and enjoys a long-lasting success in West German theatres. This thesis aims at uncovering the process of cultural transfer and the modes of reception in the Federal Republic of Germany through the main representatives of this movement: Arthur Adamov, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet and Eugène Ionesco. Based on previously unpublished archival sources, this work retraces the path of the mediators of this cultural import, follows the chronology of the reception and highlights the diversity of the types of media used: theatre, radio and television. The individual steps through which the theatrical works were circulated in the West German theatre landscape between 1949 and 1989 will be analysed from the discovery by publishing houses via different translations, to major stage productions and finally the acceptance by the theatrical press and the general public. Thanks to its cosmopolitan nature, the theatre of the “absurd” was endowed by the West German host culture with an international dimension that contributed to its successful integration. Hence this study opens a new chapter in the history of Germany, its culture and theatre as well as, more widely, the French-German cultural relations.

There were many transformations suffered by the city’s theatrical sector, especially with the redefinition of the state’s role to a culture promoter. From the history of Brazilian theatre, the historical context and cultural policies implemented, the intention is to provide an overview of Rio’s theatrical production of the time and identify essential points at which theatrical segment is found. This paper proposes a reflection about the current practices from these changes in theatrical production processes of Rio de Janeiro city. / Esse trabalho visa analisar os diferentes modelos de gestão do teatro carioca a partir de 1950. Foram muitas as transformações sofridas no setor teatral da cidade, sobretudo com a redefinição do papel do Estado como promotor de cultura. A partir da história do teatro brasileiro, do contexto histórico e das políticas culturais implantadas, pretende-se traçar uma panorâmica da produção teatral carioca no período e identificar os pontos nevrálgicos em que o segmento teatral se encontra. O trabalho propõe uma reflexão sobre essas práticas atuais, a partir dessas mudanças ocorridas nos processos de produção teatral da cidade do Rio de Janeiro.

Este estudo tem o objetivo de construir uma reflexão acerca do processo de corporificação de personagens transgêneros e das construções teatrais de um ator homossexual a partir de seu corpo cotidiano (conjugado). Para tanto, escolhi investigar os processos de criação teatral e de construção corporal de alguns personagens interpretados pelo ator João Carlos Castanha. Os corpos criados por esse ator ganham carne a partir de pedaços de corpos masculinos e femininos que resultam em corpos estéticos de sexualidade e gênero híbridos. Diante disso, desenvolvi uma pesquisa embasada em referencias teóricos que subsidiam a Teoria Queer, aliados a procedimentos metodológicos oriundos da pesquisa qualitativa. Assim, utilizei fontes impressas, imagéticas, entrevistas e observações durante a prática do trabalho do ator. Esse trabalho resulta de uma necessidade particular de me aproximar e de compreender essas construções corpóreas que acontecem em zonas periféricas num devir-teatral. Zonas essas que se constituem fora dos padrões dos gêneros masculino e feminino. / This study aims to build a reflection on the embodiment process of transgender characters and theatrical constructions of a gay actor from his real life body (conjugate). Therefore, I chose to investigate the working process and body constructions of the characters played by actor João Carlos Castanha. The bodies created by this actor gain flesh from pieces of male and female bodies that result in hybrid sexuality and gender aesthetics bodies. Therefore, I have chosen to develop a research grounded in theoretical and methodological references of qualitative research, as well as the thought that subsidizes Queer Theory. So, I made use of printed sources, imagery, interviews and observations during the practice of that actor's work. Therefore, this paper is the result of a particular need for the researcher to approach these body constructions that occur in peripheral areas in a becoming theater. Thus, those areas are constituted outside the standards of male and female bodies.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa-ação simultaneamente teórica e prática, desenvolvida com um grupo de trabalho cooperativo composto de doze atores e seis artistas e técnicos. Nela estruturam-se princípios básicos que regem a construção de uma proposta metodológica cujo objetivo é abrir caminhos que conduzam, facilitem e instrumentalizem o ator no alcance da Verdade Vocal na construção da personagem diante de qualquer necessidade artística e estética da obra. A pesquisa deu origem a 3 espetáculos teatrais com construção de dramaturgia original em processo colaborativo compondo o que foi chamado de “Uma Trilogia Baiana: Cidade Real – Cidade Fantástica – Cidade Expressa”. Esta Trilogia estabelece a relação entre teoria e prática da expressão vocal para a formação do ator aplicada a um processo de criação. / The actor is the subject of this research and the object of these studies is an actor’s Vocal Expression associated with the technical and artistic training of this theatrical language component in his professional development. It relates to a research action which is simultaneously theoretical and practical, developed with a cooperative working group comprising twelve actors and six artists and technicians. The basic principles that govern the construction of a methodological proposal are structured in this, with the objective of opening up pathways that lead, facilitate and prepare an actor in reaching Vocal Truth when constructing a character and faced with any artistic and aesthetic necessities of the play. This research was the source for three plays, with construction of an original dramaturgy using a collaborative process in order to write “A Bahian Trilogy: Real City – Fantastic City – Express City”. This trilogy establishes the relationship between the theory and practice of vocal expression for an actor’s development, applied to a creation process.
