A Narrative in brief reports of artistic procedures on Amok

Authors

  • Ana Teixeira Amok

Abstract

In the text, I analyse Amok’s journey and, mirroring myself in it, reflect on my trajectory as a director, my references and my masters - in particular, Antonin Artaud, Jacques Copeau and Étienne Decroux -, my partners, the most outstanding choices and the surprises and lessons learned acquired. I translate, analysing some moments of life and creation processes, my shifts between pedagogy and directing shows. Finally, I highlight how Amok’s group theatre combines art and life, and the meaning that researching collectively has been formulating in our artistic work, becoming the foundation and engine of our experiences.

Keywords: Amok Theatre; Group contemporary theatre; Knowledge from experience; Theater direction.
