The Playing of the Child Performer with Orixás: artistic and afro-referenced experimentations

ABSTRACT The Playing of the Child Performer with Orixás: artistic and afro-referenced experimentations – This article presents excerpts from a master’s dissertation in Performing Arts about performances of children’s playing bodies, in Early Childhood Education, based on the Orixás universe. It initially reveals the participating children (NEI/Cap/UFRN), dialoguing with author(s) such as Marina Marcondes Machado (2010a; 2010b; 2015). It develops intersections between performance and childhoods, articulating an afro-playful methodology with the children’s protagonism. The artistic, afro-referenced and performative narratives of the authors raise contemporary considerations, providing findings for this discussion.

摘要：与奥里沙（Orixás）共演的儿童表演者——基于非洲文化参照的艺术实验——本文节选自一篇表演艺术硕士学位论文，聚焦幼儿教育领域中以奥里沙宇宙观为基础的儿童游戏身体表演实践。本文首先介绍了参与研究的儿童（NEI/Cap/UFRN），并与玛丽娜·马孔德斯·马查多（Marina Marcondes Machado）等学者的研究成果展开对话（2010a；2010b；2015）。研究拓展了表演研究与童年研究的交叉领域，以儿童为主体构建了兼具非洲文化参照性的游戏化研究方法。相关学术叙事兼具艺术性、非洲文化参照性与表演性，引发了当代学术思考，并为本次讨论提供了研究发现。
