Extension project "Circling Theater Workshop - Workshop Theater for young people with mental disorders"

Coordination: Adriana Bonfatti and Joana Ribeiro da S. Tavares

Summary

​

The Circulando Theater Workshop project was implemented in March 2013 at the UNIRIO Theater School, through theater workshops for young people suffering from mental disorders (autistic and psychotic). In 2014, the project started offering workshops for their companions and family members. Developed at an inter-institutional level, it establishes a partnership with the project “Circling and drawing bonds and partnerships: care for autistic and psychotic youngsters - from the drive circuit to the social bond”, coordinated by Profa. Dr. Ana Beatriz Freire and by Prof. Dr. Fabio Malcher Martins de Oliveira from the Institute of Psychology at UFRJ. It integrates students from UNIRIO's Escola de Teatro and Instituto Villa Lobos with students from UFRJ's Psychology Institute. The project prepares a fertile ground for interdisciplinary actions between the areas of Arts and Mental Health. It promotes a partnership between the Departments of Interpretation to which it is linked and of Theater Education, through supervised curricular internships, completion of coursework for students and also research in the postgraduate sphere, reiterating the inseparability of teaching , search and extension. It works in professional training, promoting the insertion of students in institutions that work with rehabilitation and special education. The Circulando Theater Workshop project has been growing in academia, both because of the demand from the benefited community and the expression of interest from the students and faculty, who are increasingly interested in the issue of university accessibility for people in situations of social vulnerability. The results include the research, production and dissemination of knowledge in arts/special education in close dialogue with the Mission of UNIRIO, aiming at a humanist, critical and reflective formation, committed to improving the living conditions of society.

Projeto “Coletivo Brincante Matuba - Criações e investigações cênicas entre tradições e contemporaneidades”

Coordenação: Juliana Manhães

Resumo

​

O “Coletivo Matuba” surgiu em 2014, a partir do movimento dos estudantes da Escola de Teatro e Música da UNIRIO, como necessidade de o universo acadêmico dialogar com os saberes das tradições afro-diaspóricas e de povos originários inseridos na grade curricular dos cursos. Em desdobramento e ação contínua, os Laboratórios NEPAA (Núcleo de Estudos de Performances Afro-Ameríndias) e o LABAM (Laboratório Artes do Movimento), acolheram a diversidade destas performances culturais, com suas epistemologias e pedagogias, acreditando na importância da cultura brasileira na universidade.
O projeto mantém ações como as “Rodas Brincantes” (rodas mensais que acontecem no espaço da universidade), “Rolés Matubas” (que acontecem em diversos espaços de saberes tradicionais fora da universidade); e dialoga com a disciplina optativa “Laboratório de Danças Populares” do Bacharelado em Atuação Cênica.

 

Palavras-chave: Danças Populares; Tradições afro-diaspóricas; Povos Originários; Teatro.
