SUMMARY:

The goal of this research is to investigate vulnerability as an aspect of acting as well as its perception and technical use within the group theater Coletiva Teatro. Drawing from fields of study such as bioethics, social sciences and psychology I seek to understand definitions and concepts of vulnerability and their applicability towards acting. I use the definition of vulnerability according to Brene Brown (2012) with theoretical-conceptual support of Donald M. Kaplan (1969), Declan Donnellan (2008), Gabbard (1979), William Saad Hossne (2009), J. G. Simmonds and J. Southcott (2012) in dialogue with Stanislaviski (2001), Renato Ferracini (2013), Josette Féral (2015) and Giselle Rodrigues de Brito (2020) from the field of acting. Based on the group theatre practice generated by Coletiva Teatro I analyze from the perspective of the actor’s vulnerability the performance projects #poesiadodia (2017), O Amor que Habito (2018) and Baú de Histórias (2018), all created by the group. Applying a questionnaire I investigate how vulnerability is used by Coletiva Theatre members and seek to understand, in a qualitative manner, the use and reverberations of the actors’ vulnerabilities during the different exploratory phases of the creative process: composition, pre-presentation, presentation and post-presentation. Finally, from the neuroscientific perspective of stress proposed by Andrew Huberman and Alia Crum’s concept of mindset, I suggest a guide to help actors identify vulnerability in its productive and counterproductive forms as well as its activation. Results obtained in the research and observed in practice indicate vulnerability as a relevant aspect of acting in Coletiva Teatros’s work and ones individual mindset as determinant of its utilization. From these results the proposed guide intends to help actors use their vulnerability as a technical, creative and productive tool from the moment of exploration in the artistic process to the post-presentation, wether in an individual or collective praxis.
