Community theater in the contact zone: reinventing the praxis

摘要

Community theater is a practice that in recent years has come to appear in academic debates and cultural institutions, attracting artists, teachers, researchers, and a diverse range of other professionals interested in participatory artistic practices. Within such approaches, this article seeks to reflect on these practices the risk of excluding, since most discourses of education are pierced by a form of rationality that makes co-presence impossible and cancels the 'other side of the line' of what it considers relevant. Thus, it reaffirms the need for attention to the interior of the artistic processes and to the way praxis are constructed, placing community theater in the space of the 'contact zone' and the scene as a presence of the subjects in this space.
