A dança é o que pensa que é: experimentos e escritos na arqueologia artistadocente em dança

Abstract

This work presents dialogical-critical-creative creations and writings based on the labor investigation called “writing-reading-dancing”. The creative process was carried out in the discipline of Seminário de TCC, of the Curso de Dança Licenciatura, of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM/RS). The main issues that intertwined creative and scriptural work were related to questions about “what is dance?” and “who does the dance think they are?”. In this frenzy, conceptions of the body, dance, philosophy, pedagogy and images link the researched procedures, as well as provoking reflections about the formation of the artist-teacher. The methodological approach to bricolage enhanced and amalgamated the process in different stages and ways of conducting research / production. The images of the body, like the images that took place in the body, were constructed with over-juxtapositions and (pro) positions that dialogued with the pedagogies that emerge along the path, both imagetic and practical of the investigation. The writings of themselves, interposed with the images of the body, propose that artistic and pedagogical works can coordinate and interpellate in an authorial, critical and creative way, producing both teaching and the training of the dance artist.
