Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop strategies to create and explore the word as a potentiating agent in the processes of creation, through research on the creative process in Free Improvisation. To understand the phenomenon of creativity in Free Improvisation, we seek methodological alternatives, adapting models of analysis that would allow a consistent approach to the performing arts from the clarification of the concepts of Creativity Process and Evidentiary Paradigm. Likewise, we explore the meaning of creativity to the Free Improvisation, demonstrating the importance of the creative process as components of the imagination, creativity, risk and invention. Thus, we present how they were developing a creative strategy from the word, linked to actions that involve the concepts of emotional resonance and endo-concepts as components of the creative process on the Free Improvisation. For this, we have a lab practical experience, according to the concepts of the creative process, which was named ateliê (studio). We aim to explore the concepts and practical experience, our way in formulating these strategies targeted at different creative perspectives to the Free Improvisation.
