The personal testimony is a technique used by several artists in different artistic fields to build a true and believable character. My first contact with this technique was through Bete Dorgam, still at acting school, and later on, with her own master, Cristiane Paoli-Quito. Using one’s own story and taking it to the audience in an interesting way demands courage, one´s soul must be available and, above all else, the willingness to share one´s humanity. In my research as a performer as well as a teacher and director, this is the technique that leads my working process. We’re all unique and, at the same time, we are all build from the same matter. Therefore, if I speak my truth on the stage, it resonates with the audience’s truth, creating a bond of trust and credibility that will expand the meaning of the artistic experience.
