Coletivo Rouxinol de Teatro do Oprimido (Cabedelo/PB) – arte, educação e protagonismo juvenil.

Abstract

The challenges and difficulties faced by school methodological practices in the current educational model show us the need to reflect on the role of education and the use of its tools in the teaching-learning process, and new attitudes towards educational practices in primary and secondary education are indispensable. higher. In this sense, the present TCC aims to work the techniques of the Theater of the Oppressed (T.O.) as a way to rethink education in contemporary times, making use of the OT. as an educational practice. The T.O. It was created by Augusto Boal in the 60s as a way of providing autonomy to social agents through action and expression. Through exercises and theatrical games, fundamental for the development of all TO techniques, the group of participants is integrated, leading them to seek their own forms of expression - which helps in the physical and intellectual demechanization and in the construction of knowledge through art. Becoming spect-actors (BOAL, 2005), the participants of the T.O. reflect, discuss and modify the environment in which they live. Seeking social transformation by leaving the passive way of just watching and receiving, the “spect-actors” start to act and produce. In this TCC, the experience that brings together art, education and youth protagonism is presented through the Nightingale Theater Collective - group that was born in the premises of IFPB Cabedelo in 2013 and, since then, has acted in various spheres, such as occupations, workshops, presentations. and extension courses. The experience of the Nightingale Collective, of which I am part, is presented here as exemplary of an engaged and transformative education that deals with current issues of society as a whole and of youth in a particular way, such as LGBTphobia.
