Reflections on pedagogical possibilities in scenic lighting
Stage lighting. Lighting in teaching and learning. Theater pedagogy.
This research intends to reflect on the teaching / learning process in Scenic Lighting. In view of the breadth of curriculum offered by the subject of illumination, it is sought to reflect on which contents are relevant to a theater actor in order to familiarize oneself with this specific area, especially in order to perceive and take into account lighting as an element of Composition of your artistic practice. To elaborate a pedagogical proposal of this relation is the object of research of this dissertation. To begin with it, the author evaluates her process of learning in lighting within the undergraduate course in Theater of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). The intuitive form with which she developed the work as director of lighting within the University is subsequently considered in this analysis and causes the author to reflect her practice and to constitute actions potentially capable of collaborating with the process of formation of Theater students of that University. In order to do so, the research is based on a construction of knowledge thought by Paulo Freire, which considers that the subject is in constant dialogue to elaborate his knowledge that either develops its own autonomy during the process as considers the pedagogical experience capable of resulting in a critical / reflexive practice. Therefore, the pedagogical proposal to be constructed in this work will start from the perception that the subject makes about light so that he is able to make it necessary during the composition of his own work.
