Abstract

BRAGA, Simone Marques; SANTOS, Luciene Souza  and  LOPES, Aaron Roberto Mello. Mythology’s Orixás: interdisciplinary artistic show involving teaching degree students. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.48, pp.223-239. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.v26.n48.3223.

Involving Students of diverse undergraduation degrees, this experience was developed from the creation and implementation of a discipline of the Department of Education of UEFS - “Formação de Contadores de Histórias” -, articulating that with a music collegiate discipline - “História e Diversidade da Música Brasileira II”. The first one worked with the storytelling arts fundamentals on the universe of the Orixás Mythologies, and introduced the basic knowledge about the voice spoken and sung from the Yoruba´s songs. The second one worked with the rhythms and chants of the african-borns cults. The interdisciplinary experience also had the collaboration of one theather teacher and one afro brazilian dance teacher, who developed workshops that expanded the students’ artistic repertoire. It was tried with this experience to answer some restlessness: Is it possible to demystify beliefs and fears of undergraduate students about the Mythology of Orixás? From a sensorial aesthetic experience of listening and narration of the orixás stories, is it possible to value ethnic-racial relations in the university? How to develop pedagogical and musical knowledge involving the African matrix in a specific degree of music? As a result, we had a Performing Show whose scenic experience was attended by students and professors of several university degrees, as well as the formative processes of this experience were approached and discussed through a conversation wheel.

Keywords : History Tells; Orixás Mythology; Afro-Brazilian Music Teach.
