O que você quer ser quando crescer? da consciência corporal ao treinamento pré-expressivo

Abstract

This final paper is a memoir and deals with my training process inside and outside the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. With the poetic license of a memoir, I initially propose to answer the following question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. Throughout the text, I revisit my relationship with the arts through digressions of memory: with drawing, dance and theater. My interest in the body and in body awareness is revealed throughout my trajectory, and physical education also becomes an attractive place for me, until I decide to enroll in the Bachelor's Degree in Theater at UFRN and I start to rediscover my body and my artistic practice. However, at a certain point in my graduation, I come across the curricular component “Elements of Pre-Expressive Training” and a change occurs in my body practice, first as a student and then as a monitor of the discipline. Working with the matrices helps me to understand other body paths and allows me to reflect on my special interest in the area of body preparation.
