Da música ao gesto: a musicalidade na experiência teatral e na construção da personagem Sônia.

Abstract

This work addresses the intersection between theatric performance and musicality, with a focus on the adaptation of the piece “Valsa N.° 6”, by Nelson Rodrigues, made by the present author and graduate student of the Theater course, Fernanda Lobo. Here I explore my creative journey as interpreter of the character Sônia, highlighting the importance of music in the process of construction of my character and the effects that this relationship evokes. This work reflects on the struggles of acting by yourself on scene and the necessity of research and experimentation to overcome these difficulties. Through these reflections on music in the theatric practice, the author reveals that it can not only complement the scene, but also enrich the actor’s performance, allowing a greater dialogue between body and emotion. The text emphasizes the relevance of body expression and the search for new ways of connecting between the dramatic text and acting, promoting a more profound and affectionate theater experience. The discussion on musicality and the experiences lived during the process of production of the play “Sônia” show how rhythmic technique can help the actor to adapt to challenges in the theater process, highlighting the need for a sensitive and open view of the interaction between body, voice, rhythm, and text.
