PROJECT

CIAC welcomes research project in the area of Actors Direction

Professor and researcher Heloísa Machado is currently developing the project Missa do Galo, based on the homonym tale of the Brazilian writer Machado de Assis, at the CIAC pole of the Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema.

This project, developed following a protocol with the Fluminense Federal University-UFF, consists of the applicability, in different and varied dramaturgies and aesthetics, of the Active Analysis Method, the last element of the Stanislavski System, developed from the Physical Actions Method, in an attempt to experience its possibilities and possible limits for the creation of characters, even in diverse semiological contexts, theatrical or cinematographic.

At the moment, the goal has been to film an adaptation of the Machado story, Missa do Galo, set in the nineteenth century. The cast is formed by two third year students of the Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema, Beatriz Costa and Miguel Matos. In the two secondary characters Francisca Listopad and Luís Portugal, doctoral student of the University Lusófona. In the Art, we have Rita Capelo and Daniela Cardante, also students of the ESTC, who are being supervised by Prof. Sérgio Loureiro. In production, the project has relied on the collaboration and supervision of Prof. Conceição Mendes.
