"Através de nós”: uma pesquisa em dança contemporânea a partir da “improvisação pelos sentidos”

Abstract

This article reflects on the development of a creative process, through the languages of contemporary dance and improvisation, using the methodology of improvisation through the senses (Leal 2012). Contributing to body development, listening to the body and studies that contribute to the way of thinking about dance and its movement possibilities. Seeking to understand how these stimuli influence movements, how from them the body creates possibilities to move, recognizing the potential that exists in our bodies. Vision and touch are highlighted in this research. The research contributes to dance teaching, bringing new ways of studying the body while researching movements through laboratories, the language of contemporary dance and improvisation. To contribute to the research and add references to the article, bringing experiences with authors such as Rosa Hercules, Jussara Miller, Rudolf Laban, Patrícia Leal, Jose Gil, Antônio Damásio, Thereza Rocha, Laurence Louppe, among others that I will mention throughout the research . It also brings the concept of Klauss Vianna's technique, about listening to the body and its possibilities in movements. Where, based on these studies, individual, group and pair laboratories were developed. It was from these studies that the creative process was developed “Through Us”.
