Abstract

This article presents and discusses 3 supervised internship experiences carried out by students on the Bachelor's Degree in Performing Arts at ECA-USP in 2024, as part of the course Creative and Pedagogical Processes III, a required component for licenciate and bachelors’ degree students. The internships cover the field of non-formal education and the reports discuss theatrical practice in connection with the spectator and the territories and communities in which they take place. The analysis of the experiences considers the training of the artist as an educator and cultural agent, by investigating processes of production, dissemination and artistic mediation. The performing arts are thus understood as dynamizing the public sphere, broadening the insertion of subjects in the field of symbolic production and the cultural life of the city.
