THE CLASSES-ENCOUNTERS OF AN ARTIST-TEACHER: A RITUALISTIC PROCESS OF TEACHING
Theatre: Education: Art of the Encounter: Ritualistic Teaching Process.
The following ongoing research based on the foundations of Theatre and Education, seeks to contribute to the study processes of major areas, and to identify new possibilities for teaching theater in Basic Education. Thus, one of the focus from the research is in the figure of the theatre teacher that in this work is seen as an artist of the art he teaches, therefore approaching the concepts of Teacher-Artist (STRAZZACAPPA, 2006), Professor-Performer (ICLE, 2013), and also Director-Educator (HADERCHPEK, 2009). The professor now occupies a mediating role between the student and the theatrical practice, leading him through Classes-Encounters, a notion to be polished throughout the research process, but that is guided on the idea of the Art of the Encounter, by Grotowski (2011), which contributes directly to the methodological thinking of the work, that seeks to expand the understanding of classes as a teacher's invitation to the student. Aided also by curricular parameters, this research, by the end of it, will be able to investigate and understand more generally the teaching process, as a ritual that values more human aspects and sensitive pedagogical practices in the field of Arts.
