Interpretation IV

N/A

Students will be confronted with a wide range of theater texts, classic and contemporary, from which they will choose scenes to work in groups that are constituted according to aesthetic affinities that arise in the meantime. In order to ensure the unity of the work of the class, the choice of these texts should be thematic. After scenes have been chosen, students should organize autonomous work sessions and begin to present the result of this work in different stadiums, in order to receive guidance from the teacher.

Students should be able to:
– develop, as actors, autonomous work on previously defined scenes, presenting consequential and well-founded game proposals that will serve as the basis for the work in the class.
– develop an acute awareness of their aesthetic choices and motivations as creators, while exploring, testing and investigating instruments that open ways of creation to put them into practice.
– to be aware that no predetermined method of the actor’s work exhausts the possibilities of addressing a text in its singularity.

The curricular unit of Interpretation IV corresponds to a decisive step in the formation of the actor, consolidating acquired skills that will serve as a ballast to the work to be carried out in the Intervention Project and internship.
On the other hand, this curricular unit, which appears immediately after theatrical aesthetics, should help the student to be as a creator, exploring its expressive limits and becoming aware of its motivations.
The concept of scenic writing will be central in the work to be developed in Interpretation IV because it makes the student aware and responsible for his choices, for his “poetry in space” as Antonin Artaud would say.
