Abstract

The project aims to analyze the improvisation as technique to expand the scope of theatrical communication. To do so, the project builds on the works of Peter Brook made to with the CIRT (Centre International de Recherches Théâtrale), seeking a "sacred theater" and a "rustic theater ', and merging these with the work carried out in Iran, Africa and in North America. Thus, we will study the process of improvisation used to reach these groups so different. Improvisation as a channel to communicate regardless of socioeconomic status, cultural, age, among other tracks of the public. (AU)
