Self-direction as the actor’s creative experience
Selfdirection. Creative process. Director. Actor. Performer.
This research aims the self-direction in a solo work. The study had parted of creative processes that investigates ways to direct, the work of acting and directing and the dynamics of those who create occupying the places of actor and director at the same time. In addition, the work also examines the performer's position on his creative autonomy, the theater groups and the creative process of the clown. It was interviewed four actors-directors who have been through the experience of self-directing recently: Georgette Fadel (SP), Nena Inoue (PR), Matteo Bonfitto (SP) and Michel Melamed (RJ). The interviews were used for the analysis of the forms of self-direction and, from them, it was extracted points of discussion of the subject. The work of Anne Bogart (2011), Peter Brook (2002), Antônio Araújo (2011) e David Mamet (2014), Matteo Bonfitto (2002 e 2013), Cassiano Sidow Quilici (2015), Sophie Proust (2006), Fayga Ostrower (2014) and many others, serves as a theoretical basis for the work. This research also uses the cartographic method - because the intervention of the researcher in the process and this researcher investigate the selfdirection in a creation experiment - and the writting in the form of esays.
