As a pedagogue, Tatiana has dedicated herself to reflect on the creative process of the actor / actress, teaching practical and theoretical stages to actors and dancers, writing about the theme (Sala Preta, Illinx, Revista Rev., Etc) and participating in the “International Studies Network of Presence “, coordinated by Gilberto Icle. Tatiana is an actress (sporadic) and a director. She directs the group Hanimais Hestranhos, with which she developed, between 2016 and 2017, a practical research about acting and subjectivity – who is, or can be, this ‘me’ that acts? – having as literary reference the works “The unspeakable” of Samuel Beckett and “Book of the Disquiet” of Fernando Pessoa. Currently, she supervises two shows: The Woman Who Turned into Plant, with the actress Bruna Trindade and the direction of Vitor Medeiros (under construction) and Divine and Human, conceived and performed by the actress Rosana Reátegui. Tatiana participates in two CNPq Research Groups: CRIA: Artes e Transversalidade and Artes do Movimento.
