Selfie performática: instrumento cênico de prática na disciplina de teatro no ensino regular

Abstract

Taking into account the context covered by the educational practice of Art?s Teaching in Brazil, the targeting of contents in detriment of subjects reality is still frequent. In this perspective, the final product is transmitted instead of the “knowledge of the process”. At this point, marked by the acceptance of pre-established messages, it?s noticeable the similarities with the Cultural Industry and the Mass Communication. Intending a critical-aesthetic self-training in the classroom by the approach from the subjects? universe, a material with large insertion among youth was selected: „selfies?. First, these self-portraits reflect mass and Cultural Industry?s logic aspects. On the other hand, they also include identity traits considering an absence of aesthetic composition, specific formulation (intentional and planned) at least at level of complexity and dynamics, characteristics of artistic realization. Through interaction in Theater Games and based on Richard Schechner conception of behaviour reconstruction, we seek the creation of performative frames: tensions and contradictions inherent to 'selfies' (identity, subjectivity and collectivity truth/illusion) in critical-aesthetic self-training of subjects inside the classroom. The perceived facts in this study case take us to various reflexive possibilities about educational practices on Theater?s Teaching and how Cultural Industry influences the creative processes proposed in Art Education.
