A tríade movimento-imagem-memória no percurso de criação de uma atriz

Abstract

The present work aims to track the path and the potential of imagination in the creative processes of the play “Retalhos”, a monologue inspired by my grandmother’s life and private universe, which has changed in the past few years due to her memory loss. In this process, imagination goes through essential elements of my work as an actress: memory, as a (re)creationand body movement. These three elements establish a dynamic, which becomes the basis to build the play and I denominate the triad of movement-image-memory. In this sense, this theoreticalpractical investigation starts with some of my work diaries from the creative process of “Retalhos”, Theoretical reflection is based on some principles of Somatics and proceduresdeveloped by the Russian actors and stage pedagogues, Constantin Stanislavsky and Michael Chekhov.
