The experience of "Cia. Ortaet de Teatro" in the southern center of Ceará: pedagogical background and creative processes.
Group Theater, Formative Processes, Artistic Processes, Off-axis Theater
This text deals with an investigation and a thought about the group theater movement in inland cities of the state of Ceará and in particular, the artistic and training activities of “Cia Ortaet de Teatro”, a collective based in the city of Iguatu/CE, in the Center-South from Ceará of which I am one of the founders. The group's experience presents some interesting triggers to think about how formation and artistic creation take place, as well as the organization and maintenance of a group outside the major economic centers of the country. The research is anchored in my practical experience within the “Companhia Ortaet de Teatro” and in the reports of several artists and theoretical researchers from the state of Ceará.
