Relatos de um ator que transita entre o Kung fu e a cena ritual

Abstract

This work aims to talk about myself as an actor in the contemporary scene in the subject of Acting III (2017.2), using elements of traditional Kung Fu, taught by Dr. Robson Haderchpek, at the Arts Department – UFRN. Throughout the process, Kung Fu’s practice has been used to construct an archetype for the scenic montage. I describe the subject and how the assemble of the archetype occur in the final result, emphasizing the Kung Fu as the center of the creation process as well as its relationship to the theatre. This work also focuses, briefly, on the Kung Fu’s history, getting its different styles, and how its expantion ocurred in the occident world. The emphasys is given here to the philosophical thoughts and practice of the actor and martial artist Bruce Lee like a way of articulating the links between this Oriental Art and the theatrical language. In this sense, focus is made on how my own experience in both the martial art and the theater have been of paramount importance in my life as an actor.
