Teatro Com Crianças na Aldeia Itapuã: O Ensino do Teatro no Colégio Estadual Indígena Tupinambá Amotara

Abstract

The research entitled “Teatro Com Crianças na Aldeia Itapuã: O Ensino em Teatro no Colégio Indígena Tupinambá Amotara” proposes a significant study of the intersection between indigenous education and theater pedagogy. Using the staging of the literary work “O Navio Negreiro”, by Castro Alves, as a basis, the research employs the theatrical games of the Theater of the Oppressed, developed by Augusto Boal, as a central tool. The main objective is to integrate the practice of reading, interpretation and the development of oral communication with artistic skills and competencies, promoting learning in a playful and engaging way. In doing so, the research seeks not only to teach literature and theater, but also to strengthen the cultural identity and individual and collective expression of the participants, within the indigenous educational context. This approach highlights the importance of pedagogical methods that respect and value traditional cultures, while at the same time offering opportunities to enhance creativity and critical reflection.
