O que estamos fazendo?

The creative process of an actor-videomaker in social isolation

Abstract

The period of social isolation, due to the world pandemic of Covid-19, required the performers to investigate new creation procedures that would allow the continuity of their work. In this text, researchers from the xxxxx (XXXX) present reflections on the work “O que estamos fazendo?” - a creative process development in the home environment through a strict dialogue with audiovisual resources. The way in which the group explored the approach of creation in cycles - Cycles Repère - developed by Jacques Lessard, and the Tasks or Scores, proposed by Anna Halprin, is exposed. From the analysis and presentation of the materials developed by one of the actors in the work, we arrive at the figure of the actor-videomaker resulting from the functions performed by the actor throughout the creation, as well as from the hybridization processes between theater and audiovisual technologies.
