Fatores de movimento de Laban na análise de roteiros de audiodescrição de videodanças

Abstract

Access to entertainment, culture, and art in their various languages, in the most varied contexts, must be given to everyone. The availability of artistic works through audiovisual and virtual means is increasing, among these works are videodances. Because of this, it’s necessary to think of strategies that allow the appreciation of this hybrid art form, above all, by people with visual impairments. Therefore, the object of study of this research is the analysis of audio description scripts for videodances, considering Laban's movement factors and their use to create audio description scripts for videodances. Audio description is a modality of intersemiotic translation and a communicational accessibility resource that transforms the visual into verbal and can contribute to the understanding of people with visual, intellectual, low vision, dyslexia, and elderly people. And the movement factors are parameters through which Laban sought to codify the general and common characteristics of any movement. This is an investigation of a qualitative nature, configuring itself as a case study, of a descriptiveexploratory nature. The research corpus consisted of the scripts of three videodances, Zero Gravity, Solarliod and Heart of Stone, presented at the International Videodance Show with Audio Description, held during the first half of 2021, with the free exhibition on Youtube and in the social networks of Companhia Artesãos do Corpo, Centro de Referência da Dança (SP) and Ver com Palavras. The research subjects were the audio-descriptor of the original scripts, the consulting audio-descriptor, and a focus group consisting of four visually impaired and/or low-vision volunteers. Starting from the analysis of the scripts, based on the parameters of Laban's movement, the versions of the videodances with audiodescription that were analyzed were presented to the focus group, with the original scripts. Subsequently, the scripts were re-elaborated, based on the perception of the focus group, with the support of the audiodescriptor consultant. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the expansion of studies on the contribution of the parameters of Laban's movement to the elaboration of audio description scripts for video dance, in its most diverse means of presentation.
