SANTOS, Natália Alves dos  and  ROMAGNOLI, Roberta Carvalho. When invention asks for passage: rhythm and body in theater workshops of Center for Mental Health Reference (CERSAM) northwest of Belo Horizonte. Mental [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.18, pp. 29-52. ISSN 1679-4427.

This article focuses on subjective processes research in theater workshops of the Center for Mental Health Reference (CERSAM) northwest of Belo Horizonte, linking art and mental health. Based on the ideas of Deleuze and Guattari and the mapping method, we investigated these processes in these workshops, charting devices that operate both for reproduction and invention. The weekly drama workshops built from users demands and attentive to the power of meetings allowed us to track hard lines, flexible lines and escape lines that made up the rhizome-workshop-subjectivities. In these meetings we highlight two events: the rhythm-event and the body-event. We hope our study contribute to mental health practices in insisting that there is power and invention in madness.

Keywords : Subjectivation processes; mental health; theater workshops; schizoanalisys; cartography.
