Corpo negro: reconstrução da corporeidade e experiências no grupo de dança da UFRN (GDUFRN) e sua representatividade na extensão universitária

Abstract

This work aims to report the student experience when participating in an academic extension project, during the Dance degree at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. It is about describing learning in the UFRN Dance Group, with an emphasis on the corporeality and representation of the black body built during participation and permanence in the group. The experience enabled the dialogue of artistic-cultural knowledge, as well as the acquisition of new knowledge, expanding our perspective on the appreciation of bodily diversity and contributing to estimulating and intensifying the development and improvement of our academic training in Dance. The article brings experiences with dance and studies by authors such as Teodora Alves, Carina Barreto, Boaventura Santos, Petrucia Nóbrega, Gabriel Ramon Ferreira Lima and Silvia Camara Soter da Silveira, among others. I also discuss how the extension projects present at the university can contribute to these processes of body reconstruction, representation and their potential, highlighting my experience and experience with the UFRN Dance Group (GDUFRN).
