Light, camera, action

artistic expressions as an instrument of a transformative pedagogical praxis

Abstract

This qualitative, analytical, descriptive and interpretive article aims to report the experiences intrinsic to
the actions of the teaching project “To be or not to be, here is the question: theater arrived at the Federal
Institute of Santa Catarina (IFSC), Itajaí campus as a an action of permanence and success”. The project had as
target audience the students of the technical courses integrated to the high school of the IFSC campus of Itajaí
and arose from a reflection on the need to carry out pedagogical actions that favor the understanding of the
social reality faced by the students, helping in the process belonging to the school space. The project's
actions were guided in the light of Historical-Critical Pedagogy, resulting in the materiality of a theatrical
play based on the work “Quarto de despejo: diary of a favelada” by Carolina Maria de Jesus. The results indicate
the relevance of transformative pedagogical actions that favor student protagonism, the spirit of belonging to
the educational institution and the promotion of a multiprofessional and interdisciplinary pedagogical work.
