O teatro no ensino médio formal: desafios, perspectivas e participação

Abstract

The research seeks, through the analysis of practical activities, to build a methodological reflection on the feasibility of theatrical production with broad participation of students in regular high school classes and to be a reference as a methodological study on the teaching of theater. That is, based on an action plan, discuss the path taken, in order to present new possibilities for an integrative theater teaching, encompassing the largest number of language elements, leading to the integration of a larger number of participants. The study conducted so far, was born from the desire to overcome challenges of everyday reality, and which often prompted reflections on the need to expand access to the theater, outside the condition of practical workshop. The extensive content of the textbook, focused on visual or multipurpose arts, an evaluation system directed to Enem and others college entrance exams, makes the time for theatrical practice practically nonexistent, besides this limitation, barriers in relation to the space for practical classes, disorganization of the pedagogical team, short time for rehearsals and performance, methodological difficulties in overcoming students' resistance to the exercise of the theater, all these factors make the performance of staging, with greater technical expertise, a reality only for students from rare theater workshops offered at state high schools. The present work aims to serve as a learning instrument, where the teacher will have the possibility to know a study in theater that presents solutions to common problems. A research centered on the description of a methodological path that can lead the teacher to leave the theoretical study deep immersion, and that this is no longer adopted as an escape for the nonapplicability of the theater as a practical experience.
