This research analyzes how the collaborative processes, widespread in contemporary theater practices and in expansion in Brazil's cinema of the last decade, can be applied to television production. Thus, aims to deepen the studies about the actor's creative process in the fiction for television context, this popularly known language, but still poorly studied under the actor´s point of view. This investigation parts from the author´s experience as director of teledramaturgy at the Ciência Aberta show, produced by TV UFPB. This show approaches the relationship between scientific and popular knowledge using journalistic and teledramaturgic language respectively, in an aesthetic that reveals actor´s creative process through metalanguage. Therefore, it aims at the dialogue with the theoretical studies in the fields of cinema, theatre, and television, attempting to enlighten their frontiers of relation and contamination, specifically, in the actor's preparation technique. This also performs an interlocution that attends interviews with television´s actors and directors as well as experiences reports to search an understanding about the relationship between actor\camera and its developments in television artistic creation. The practical stage of the research is to carrie out a workshop held with actors and students enrolled in theatre course of UFPB, resulting in the construction of the Ciência Aberta show's first episode of the second season,which seeks to radicalize what has been proposed in the first season of the show: the deepening and explanation of the creative process of the actor, modes of audiovisual production, methodologies and support concepts of creation. Guiding this work, the authors Arlindo Machado, who explains the world of the audiovisual, Jackeline Nacache, that focuses on the film actor Constantin Stanislavski, whose studies on the actor are the basis for various techniques of acting in the theater and cinema and Walmeri Ribeiro , addresses the co-creation relationship of the actor in the audiovisual. With this research, we intend to contribute to the reflection and discussion about actor´s formation and the production modes in Brazilian contemporary television, particularly in the context of acting for the camera.
