@article{Vasconcelos_Machado_2022, title={Collapse tactics in performing arts: : on the urgency of surviving and standing up}, volume={12}, url={https://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/presenca/article/view/123084}, abstractNote={<p>This article evokes The Tower tarot card as an allegory to discuss collapse tactics within a specific performing arts project: the research staging process of the play The Vagabond, a One-Woman Music-Hall Show, developed during the Covid-19 global pandemic and produced by the Xama Teatro group (Maranhão state, Brazil). It reveals possible alternatives for a combined writing process of both script and staging, based on experiences of vulnerability and drawing on collapse as a tactic to provoke a process that constantly feeds back into itself. The procedures that stand out in the process are: improvising in an atelier environment; choosing references and mapping thematic fields; exploring problems; and experimenting with performative programs as a means to insist on surviving the Covid 19 global pandemic.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong></p>}, number={2}, journal={Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença}, author={Vasconcelos, Gisele Soares de and Machado, Nicolle}, year={2022}, month={jun.}, pages={1–33} }
