Sonoridade em cena: percepção da relevância do ponto de vista dos discentes do curso de teatro da UFU

Abstract

The present study aimed to verify the perception of students from the first to the fourth period and from the fifth to the eighth period of the theater course at the Federal University of Uberlândia-MG, regarding the degree of importance of sound in theater plays. The research was supported by bibliographies that discuss the importance of sound in theatrical performances. Aspects such as perception, backstage of the composition of the theatrical play (scenography, costumes, makeup, lighting and sound design), the sound of the theatrical show, the importance of different sounds: music, soundtrack and unconventional sounds, in the theatrical scene and the relationship of sound, interpretation and the spectator. The research was carried out through a questionnaire, aiming to synthesize the perception of the target audience regarding the sound element in the play. The target audience of the research were students of the theater course at UFU. From this population, a sample of 59 people answered the questionnaire on the theme of sound in a theatrical scene. Of the 59 respondents, 26 were between the 1st and 4th period, while 33 were taking the 5th and 8th period. To discuss the results, data collected from students from the first to the fourth period and from the fifth to the eighth period of the theater course at UFU were compared. Thus, the assessment made by the course students was especially important in relation to the sound element in the creation, assembly and execution of a theatrical show. Also present in the study is a description of my experience in participating with the sound of the play Pulse.
