Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Pibic 2020-2021 project (Institutional Program for Scientific Initiation Scholarships), "The Technique of Inventiveness through Études and the Scenic Atmosphere: In Revisiting Graciliano Ramos' Literature", guided by Carla Medianeira Antonello, aimed to research the praxis in a feedback exercise, using the methodology systematized by Konstantin Stanislavski. The objective of my study was to explain the results obtained from the experimentations in the project based on the rehearsals, through the actor's eyes and his experience throughout the development of the project. The theorists studied showed us ways about the scenic atmosphere, creative atmosphere, actor's work and études, helping in the creative process, character creation, and staging. The study and creation process was developed amid the pandemic with its limitations and restrictions, in this way, the planning of the rehearsals after all the textual foundation and the reading of the dramaturgy was crucial to broaden the researchers' view of the experiments. The dramaturgy was written from clippings of the works Caetés, Angústia, Insônia with the short story Insônia and Infância with the short story Um Cinturão by Graciliano Ramos, realizing the challenge of bringing important characters of this literature and their atmospheres, as well as the experiments through etiud[1] - the technique used for creative development and as a way of studying the role through physical action (KNEBEL, 2016) -, was the driving force of inventiveness, an essential element for the construction of all the scenes of the show entitled “Fricções”.
