ABRAZO: GROUP THEATER AND COLLECTIVE TRAINING PROCESS
actor/actress training; creation process; group theater.
This dissertation aims to present, analyze and reflect on the process of creating the show Abrazo (2014), by the Clowns de Shakespeare Theater Group, of which I was a member from 2009 to 2022. As a methodology I will rely on the case study, to develop this investigation, and for this I revisited materials that were used during the assembly rehearsals. The theoretical reflection is accompanied by some researchers and artists who think about and are part of theatrical collectives, namely André Carreira (2012), Eduardo Moreira (2010), Nitza Tenemblat (2015) and the author's practical investigation and interviews with actors and actresses, members and former members of the company. I hope that this research will contribute with elements for a reflection on the formation of an actress/actor within a process of collective creation. Dialogue with authors such as Antônio Silva, Rosyane Trotta and Miguel Zapata.
