THE ART OF THEATRICAL PRODUCTION - dialogues between theatrical production and artistic practice in group theater
producer, theatrical production, performing arts, group theater, training
Taking as a starting point my experience as a theatrical producer of Shakespeare's Clowns Theater Group, my research proposes to investigate the particularities that characterize the work of a theatrical production professional, acting in the "Group Theater" modality, in a collaborative perspective, whose operational dimension and artistic dimensions intertwine to the point of becoming indistinguishable. In this sense, this work proposes to cover three as- pects: Survey of the theoretical and methodological foundations that support processes of act- ing and formation of theatrical production in Brazil, an autoethnography about this author's formative journey as a theater producer, within the scope of Group Theatre, reflecting on the similarities and distances between the producer's work and the artistic dimension of what he produces and how these reflections can serve as a basis for training proposals in Theater Pro- duction, focused on Group Theatre. In this perspective, I propose to produce reflections and syntheses that dialogue with different methodological and pedagogical aspects in the training of cultural production professionals, directing the efforts of this work to contexts of Theatrical Production in Group Theater, starting from questions such as: what are the main characteristics that differentiate Theatrical Production in Group Theater from other forms of Theatrical Pro- duction? How can training processes in cultural production stimulate the perception that this work is also an artistic work? What contributions can improving training in cultural produc- tion, more specifically in the field of theater production, offer to the economic and artistic sustainability of theater groups?
