Set Design for Community Theatre
The use of locally available resources; the search for solutions that simplify the change of the characters’ costumes; the assembling and dismantling of settings and the transition from one scene to another; and the creation of representations that compressing time and space, without unnecessary details and with minimal changes of environment; are fundamental ingredients in working with community groups, which challenging us with limitations of resources, experience and time availability.
Through the Aesthetics of the Oppressed techniques, developed from found objects (recycled) will be created scenic elements. The more powerful the image that represents a certain reality being, the greater the effectiveness of its communication and encouragement of the spectators’ interventions.

Develops the Madalena Laboratory – Teatro das Oprimidas, an innovative aesthetic experience on the specificities of the oppressions faced by women.
