Abstract

This research project aims to analyze the collaborative creation process of the Urgente play dramaturgy (2016), written by artists from two theater groups - Cia. Luna Lunera (2001-) and Areas Coletivo (2012-). The study will seek to identify the personal poetics of each author in the work. I will collect primary material about the play and interview artists that participated in it. I will read studies related to collaborative theater and autobiography, because, besides being written and directed in groups, the fable of the play Urgente is composed of biographical fragments from its creators. I will also focus on the time perception theme because it inspired the creation of the play. From the research, I will write an analytical article about the play's text and its creation process. In addition, the project will seek to understand shared authorship in a practical way, with the production of a theatrical text that will be developed by students of the Performing Arts course at Unicamp. The text will be disseminated to the university's internal and external community in two ways: through the presentation of a public reading, which will be related to the Laboratório de Dramaturgia e Escritas Performativas do Departamento de Artes Cênicas (Lab. Drama), and sharing the text in the collection from the same laboratory. I will also write an article about the creation process of the developed play.(AU)
