Poetic Creed as a System of Autonomous Reflection in Theatre Creation Processes

Abstract

The aim of this article is to introduce the notion of poetic creed. A notion
that was created to reflect on the different ways in which a theatre creator
can produce theoretical thinking inside and around their practice. The poetic
creed of a theatre creator is conceived as a continuously evolving subject.
While studying the ways of thinking the practices, we try to discover the
ways in which we could reflect inside the artistic field and how they become
useful in terms of production of thought about the world that surrounds the
creator.
This approach’s contribution is to propose different tools for a possible
method that can lead to the production of theoretical inputs emerging from
the creative practices. We will introduce some working axes that could be useful
for researchers (working on the analysis of a specific creator’s poetics), researcher
creators or creators that are trying to understand their own processes
and practices.
