GUSHIKEN, Yuji. Audience-Foyer: Dialogue and Public Formation with Dramatic Reading in Performing Arts. RLEC/LJCS [online]. 2023, vol.10, n.1, pp.113-131.  Epub June 30, 2023. ISSN 2184-0458.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rlec.4429.

The object of this article, whose research adopts a qualitative approach, takes an interdisciplinary path and has an applied nature, is the potential formation of theatre audiences seeking to turn them into virtually lasting public through artistic and communication practices in the field of performing arts called “audience-foyer” and “dramatic reading”. At the theoretical and methodological levels, with descriptive and interpretative purposes, it draws from the model of studies of communication as dialogue, typical of the Latin American thinking in communication, from a public relations perspective, in which the practice of conversation and commentary, between the logic of organisational communication and the affection of art, emerges for the production of the social bond between artists and audience/public. This case study is about Teatro Mosaico (Brazil), in the staging of two dramatic texts: o Prólogo (Prologue), by director Sandro Lucose (2005), and A Caravana da Ilusão (The Illusion’s Caravan), by director Alcione Araújo (2000), where comedy and drama, in the same play, made the paths of a theatre company bifurcate.

Keywords : communication; theatre; audience-foyer; dramatic reading; public formation.
