Reflexões sobre a dança coral na educação escolar: para um compor compartilhado

Abstract

This research seeks to reflect on the Coral Dance proposed by scholar Rudolf von Laban. The discussion focuses on the possibility of working this proposition in schools in an experiment developed in a public school with children aged 10 to 11 to age. It is thus a qualitative study that combines the narrative of teaching history, literature and the case study. The work is aimed at reflecting the composition in school dance from Dance Coral labaniana as a possibility to experience a dance that is collective and is built in share modes of dance of each student. Furthermore, the research presents a theoretical and practical substrate for now allowing preliminary notes on the relationships woven between the poetics of Coral Dance learning and how it provides a focal sharpening process dance perceptions, process activated by the playfulness, the improvisation directed by interbody dialogue, contributing to an initial awareness of memory in dance, even with all the challenges of the school context in its dynamism, expanding perceptions and repertoires in an educational and artistic process, involving the individual and social dimensions. From the research, we found that the Coral Dance has proven effective in a sensitive and creative contact with dance at school.
