The following year, she began to study theater at the Center of Dramatic Art of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. In the course, she participated in montages with texts by Lorca ("Dona Rosita, a solteira", 1967), Brecht and Weill ("A ópera dos três vinténs", 1969) and Ésquilo ("Agamemnon", 1971). As a job of diplomacy, she directed "A cantora careca", by Eugène Ionesco.

In 1971, she graduated in letters and theater direction from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Two years later, she completed her graduate studies in theater at the University of Denver in the United States.
