CARTOGRAPHSEAMS OF NARRACTRESS: performances among storytelling, theater, and education
education, oral narration, performance, storytelling, theater pedagogy.
This dissertation mapped performances as experiences of creation by a narractress, gathering for its composition the discussion of narrative body, art performance, and narrative performance (storytelling). By choosing different educational spots as performance locus, going through the concepts of artist/teacher formulated by Isabel Marques (2011; 2014) and professor-performer by Naira Ciotti (2014), I understood the hybrid narractress as providing body-word to an artist/teacher who mobilizes issues bodily anyplace she wants to. The investigation happened through the experience of three art performances provoked by the questions that the universe of oral narration brought to my existence, sewed to the memories of my personal path as a storyteller, and to the researches made by Brazilian storytellers on oral narration in the contemporary world. It was through those weavings that I highlighted three of many sewing threads present in the composition with/from the hybrid narractress, in dialogue with the discussions on body and performance: the theorists as Eleonora Fabião (2008), Luciana Hartmann (2015), Paul Zumthor (2014), and Suely Rolnik (2016), as the concept of performance developed by Jorge Larrosa (2014; 2018), and the relationship between performance and education brought by the voices of Gilberto Icle (2017) and Mônica Bonatto (2017).
