Abstract(s)
Quando me perguntam qual é a minha profissão e eu respondo «faço direcção de cena», na maior parte das vezes deparo-me com um olhar perplexo por parte do meu interlocutor. Se eu tentar explicar em que consiste e acrescentar que esse trabalho é em «ópera», a perplexidade transforma-se em «sorriso amarelo», e então depreendo que não faz uma pequena ideia do que estou a falar. Pude constatar que mesmo pessoas ligadas ao teatro e à ópera também manifestam desconhecimento nesta matéria. Pensei, por isso, fazer um trabalho que reivindique uma maior visibilidade, valorização e reconhecimento da direcção de cena. Sendo esta profissão relativamente recente, é importante cativar o interesse dos jovens para a seguirem. Para tal é fundamental dotá-la profissionalmente, de forma a atribuir-lhe reconhecimento e estatuto, fruto de uma componente académica e de um corpo teórico sólido capazes de valorizarem um desempenho mais qualificado.
Neste contexto fiz uma análise comparativa sobre a forma de trabalhar em direcção de cena de ópera em Portugal, Alemanha, França, Inglaterra, Itália e Espanha.
Procurei para isso utilizar exemplos de teatros que fossem emblemáticos na rede de teatros de ópera de cada um destes países. Analisei ainda em que medida é fundamental a estreita cooperação entre o director de cena e o trabalho do encenador, de forma a garantir a qualidade e a fidelidade do espectáculo. Este facto leva a propor uma nova abordagem e uma nova visão da direcção de cena, atribuindo-lhe um novo papel com maior reconhecimento enquanto profissão.
When one asks me what I do for a living and I reply «I’m a Stage Manager», I find myself in most cases with puzzled looks from my interlocutor. If I try to explain what the job is, and add that this work is in Opera, the perplexity becomes a"smirk" then I imediately understand that the person doesn’t have the slightest idea of what I mean. I found out that even people who work in theatre and opera also express ignorance on this matter. Due to this I thought I should do an assignment in order to claim a greater visibility, appreciation and recognition of the Stage Manager’s job. As this is a relatively new profession, it is important to engage the interest of young people to follow it. Therefore is essential to provide youngsters with good academic component and a solid theoretical framework able to consolidate and enhance professionally in order to give it recognition and status,simultaneously the result of a more skilled performance. In this contest I did a comparative analysis on how stage management is done in different countries such as Portugal, Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Spain. I did this job by researching several emblematic opera theatres in all the countries that I mentioned above. During my research I reconfirmed how vital it is for the Stage Manager to work closely with the Director to make sure the run of the show goes smoothly and also to ensure the quality and fidelity of the show. This fact leads us to propose a new approach and vision of stage management by assigning a new role with greater recognition as a profession.
