O Intérprete-criador no espaço sagrado: ministério de dança Ruah

Abstract

This article reflects on dance in its various creation possibilities in the sacred space, with reference to the author's experience as a creative interpreter in the Ministry of Ruah Dance, considering that this ministry emerged in the Catholic Community Veni Creator Spiritus, located in the city of Natal/ RN, fruit of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR). The purpose of this research is to expand the little bibliography on the subject, the sacred space and its importance in dance as an expression of praise to God. To this end, it proposes lines of thought and body practices, aligned with an investigative process that crosses the body and dance, dance and the sacred, expressed through body movement. The research methodology departs from the concepts of improvisation by LEAL (2012) interconnected with the characteristics of sacred dance by MAGALHÃES (2005) in the religious context by GOMES (2008), dialoguing with the studies of Eukinetics and Choreutics by Rudolf Laban and other authors, thoughts and perspective of dance for the sacred. This results in knowledge in the area of expressiveness and movement qualities.
