The present study sets out my trajectory, I am the daughter of an extremely protective
Lebanese who, during my childhood, did not allow me to play with other children. I
started to play as an adult, with other adults, in the Full Degree in Theater of UFPA,
when I had contact with the Theatrical Games. They are intended to address some of
the possibilities that theatrical games brought to my life, so I use my own trajectory to
reveal this discovery. The Methodology used in this study is mainly based on my
affective memories, personal reports and the description of my experiences. I narrate
important events of my childhood, mainly, about my family relations, until the moment
I discover playing, through theatrical games; I present some of the experiences I had
during the course activity Stage I and II, where I went to the Youth Theater Course
(ETDUFPA) and to the Aimee Semple Mcpherson Elementary School; and
development about how the game became part of my life, I mention some of the
theatrical games that I like, alternating with concepts of Viola Spolin and Olga
Reverbel, for example. I also use research in books, master's thesis, and scientific
articles on the proposed theme, thus constituting the bibliographic character of the
research. In addition to a semi-structured interview with one of the teachers that
stimulated my interest in theatrical games. Concluding, therefore, that theatrical games
are like a tool of development of the personal abilities. Of all the benefits that the
Theater has brought me, the main one is: PLAY! He also taught me to trust, respect
and thank the other, I belong to this place.
