Item Pedro Ilgenfritz entrevista Michael Craven [= Pedro Ilgenfritz interviews Michael Craven](2023-08-12) Ilgenfritz, Pedro; Craven, M.; Unitec, Te Pūkenga; Dust Palace (Circus company); Te Pūkenga[Transcript of interview in Portuguese]Item Jacques Lecoq’s theatre pedagogy in institutional theatre schools in Brazil and New Zealand: A voyage of connection and disconnection(2023-05-31) Ilgenfritz, Pedro; Sachs, C.; Unitec, Te Pūkenga; Te PūkengaThis paper presentation is a reflection on the application of Jacques Lecoq's theatre methodology in the context of institutional theatre schools in Brazil and New Zealand by Claudia Sachs (the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil) and Pedro llgenfritz (UNITEC Te Pūkenga in Auckland, New Zealand). In this paper, we raise questions about the adaptability of Lecoq's pedagogy in the context of theatre training at the university level. What are the challenges, issues of consideration, and role of Lecoq's teaching in drama schools and university theatre courses? How does Lecoq's pedagogy co-exist with other theatre training traditions, such as the emphasis on text-based training, the need to serve the theatre industry, and the compartmentalized model of university curricula? We look at three different perspectives in which Lecoq-based teaching faces the issue of adaptability in theatre training in tertiary institutions: the first one, Lecoq's teaching mixes with the curricula. The second, it isolates from the rest of the teaching, and the third, it imposes its values and practice.Item Máscaras teatrais e a cultura Māori: Experimentos sincréticos no Pacífico Sul [=Theatrical masks and Māori culture: Syncretic experiments in the South Pacific](2022-08-31) Ilgenfritz, Pedro; cultural appropriationEsta apresentação é uma breve reflexão sobre alguns experimentos sincréticos entre máscaras teatrais e a cultura Indígena da Aotearoa Nova Zelândia A Máscara e mascaramento aparece na cultura Indígena da Aotearoa Nova Zelândia de duas formas: [1] A primeira está na maneira como a genealogia é expressada através de tatuagem, e em alguns casos devido a posição social, a genealogia dos indivíduos é impressa no rosto [2] Esta tatuagem facial e chamada de ‘Ta Moko’.

This stems from reflection and evidence gained while directing and producing a heavilyedited, contemporary reworking of Shakespeare’s Antony & Cleopatra at the Pop-up Globe Theatre’s inaugural season in Auckland (March-April 2016). This temporary spatial response to Shakespeare gave birth to something quite new in the South Pacific that has since been iterated many times, and proven to be a successful exercise in democratizing performance for many
