This text is motivated by the launch of our new site layout and reflects on the use of information technology and some possible influences on the Performing Arts. Thus, as the previous post, adapting parts of my doctoral work in Performing Arts at UNICAMP. To access the thesis in full, click here.
The experience of use of information technology the service of human relations of exchange, and these tell if the foundation of theatrical language, I had experienced before the publication of this new site. Early in my research, when the team's work was little and I even organized the activities of production, one of my first tasks was to create my own site:. I, who have no training in technology (except the Nipponese genetics that play friends, pushes me to ease into this area), I was alone, with the help of the topic "Help" from the software production sites, producing my own virtual territory. The From this site, just to schedule presentations international (Spain, Switzerland, Morocco, Kosovo) and I made many contacts unexpected. The site is a work Brazilian, who has long presented a spectacle as the only work on street children, came to record hits even in China, across the world.
Playwright Santiago Serrano, of Eldorado, also expressed surprise at the disclosure of his work on the web. Your page, also created by itself, accounts for more than 80,000 hits from around the world. This enabled her writings were assembled in distant places of residence: USA, Mexico, Spain, France, Bulgaria, Brazil, etc..
Tell yourself that the process of creating the show "Eldorado" availed himself largely of virtual communication. Initially, the first photographs and videos rabequeiro - the popular artists that inspired the work - were removed from the Internet. I met many rabequeiro that I never actually met.
Notwithstanding the possibility of invented travel, meetings sensed, dreamed of the realities, the Internet also encounters from life to life, when in Iguape and Canaanite, and met rabequeiro fiddle builders personally. The field research was only possible because I consulted even before from Campinas, where I live, the site of the Museum of Living Fandango. The web showed me a circuit visiting houses of popular artists and salons fandangueiros. This ensured success in meeting with these artists on a trip with their own resources - and therefore necessarily fast as I could not stay away long from other workplaces and could not even afford a long stay in those cities.
This means that, during the actual field survey surprised me with the use of technology by the artists themselves from the popular tradition. I refer not only to the techniques that each uses to create his own art (the knowledge that each one generates to play an instrument or construct its own way). I refer also to the use of expedients of postmodernity.
Your Benedito Nunes, Iguape, for example, showed me proud that his fiddle brought already built a "chip" (referring to a pickup), which allowed a fast connection to the table and amplifier. Also today, the search for videos on YouTube website shows a lot of rabequeiro and demonstrations in which the fiddle is inserted. There is, indeed, master fiddler who have their own area on the website MySpace, which press for the sharing of artistic works, especially music.
Tradition is postmodern: important references anticipated production of classical culture (this is the case, for example, one of the hallmarks of active contemporary, whose work is guided by the expertise of non-actors, dancers and singers) and does not open up the technology for create waves getting bigger and more intense human relationship.
Finally, by surfing the net, I could still get to Buenos Aires, a city that I do not know personally and establish a partnership with the Argentine playwright. If I get carried away by the many fables possible, finally, I asked someone who lived far from my home to travel with me. Thus, I do not just let me go through the realities or invented, but he also sought to go through another, which also storied their own journeys. "Eldorado", I learned, is meeting that draws on various resources to occur.
