ABSTRACT
This article aims to discuss the activities of the Project ZAP Theatre School &
Others - performed by Cia ZAP 18 (Zone outskirts of Art) - facing a context for
Theatre in Communities. This paper provides an overview of what is being
developed by ZAP 18 in the community of Serrano neighborhood in Belo
Horizonte, and what has been discussed by scholars of this subject. Therefore,
given the multiplicity of practices in Theatre and Communities, a discussion that
has been guiding with more strength is the development of practices that seek
to approach the common interests of members of a specific community. An
action that often aims at the cultural aspects of that work location, trying to
rescue his identity. Another point which is evident from this discussion is the
problematic aspects of socio-political, or addressing issues that the community
needs to give focus to to discuss a possible solution. Thus, what we propose is
to discuss the 18 that ZAP is developing the community in which it operates, to
show that the work the group has been making possible the approach to other
issues that deserve discussion within the Theatre in the Communities, the
development of other practices that do not seek a political and cultural context,
since ZAP has sought to address other issues that go beyond the community.
This work includes the development of the Foundation for Research Support of
Minas Gerais - FAPEMIG.
