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.
