“Dizem que sou louco...”: a experiência da dança na ressignificação da ideia de loucura

Abstract

This article is the result of the Second Study of Completion of Course of the Degree in Dance of UFRN and seeks to make a singular analytical reflection on the experience of practice and creation of dance with patients of psychic disorders, with cognitive deficiencies, users of chemical substances (people who experience psychoemotional disorders by the use of licit and/or illicit drugs), alcoholicdrugs, in activities experienced in the Plural Group, at the Psychosocial Support Center of UFRN, in SEPA - Specialized Service in Applied Psychology, from the methodological perspective of an experience report. The participant observation of dance teaching experiences, with socially treated subjects as "crazy", took place from the understanding of madness in a key of humanist understanding, comparable to artistic expression, to personal poetics. The reported experience alludes to the forms of teaching and experience of dance as a psychological contribution of the expression of these users, in the creation of narratives of being, in complex conditions of treatment and resocialization.
