Résumé

This study aims to present an experience report of a workshop offered during three academic events during 2023. Through theater and performative experimentation, the workshop aimed to increase the literary experience of its participants. This increase was done by, firstly, providing participants technical tools for acting, such as body and voice theatrical training. Secondly, participants underwent a progression of scenic creations and performances based on literary texts, where they should apply the technical tools previously learned. Having theater games, audience training and literary performance as the three most significant focuses, we present in this study the description of each activity conducted in the workshop as well as the goals and the theoretical bases that supported our choices. A session containing participants' most significant feedback is presented after the workshop description. Lastly, our overall observations, findings and results are presented, and suggestions for future research in this topic is offered.
