Dissertação (Mestrado em Artes Cênicas) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2021.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/45851The presented research addresses a theoretical-practical study based on discussions about the textures and creative poetic loads that the body is traversed in contemporaneity. Its objective is to reflect on a creative construction that puts in dialogue the fabric as a scenic element and the body of the performer in contemporary dance, based on an analogy, the significance of the fabrics that involved the persona of Jesus Christ, for the process of creation in contemporary dance. The methodology of this work is based on the proposition of Ciane Fernandes (2018), Practice as Research, who thinks research in Art as a construct between theory and scenic practice. Therefore, my creation practice feeds and is nourished by theoretical foundations that support and are supported by the procedures of compositional research laboratories. The research has a qualitative approach and starts from the understanding that the body is my condition of existing, learning and knowing. The study dialogues with improvisation as a tool for scenic construction to foster the creative act that interweaves body-skin-fabrics.The writing is arranged as follows: The first seam - Nascimento e Bar Mitzvá, introduces the research theme by showing the beginning of the creative process, the lived body and its fragments of the interpreter's contact with the scenic element - fabric, through the technique from improvisation to contemporary dance creation. It also shows the texture of the attentive body, as it matures in search of a sharper perception of the reduced and expanded cinesphere between the performer and the fabric. In this seam, we discuss a little bit about the body and skin in contemporaneity and we reflect the body and the skin as structures that do not separate, but that are integrated and make us artistic subjects in the way of being and making art, to communicate with you, with each other and with the world. The Second Seam – Escárnio e Crucifixion deals with the development of the process for the poetic construction of the work and its networks of connections for contemporary dance. It also presents the woven fabrics for the scene. The third and last seam – Ressurreição e Ascenção (Ressurreição e Ascenção) addresses a general overview of the research, reflecting the relationship between the fabric as a performer and the body as a fabric, and its possible contributions to researchers, educators and artists in the contemporary scene. Finally, we come to the Conclusion, Image Tessituras, showing the procedural results for the creation in focus. To weave these seams, we bring authors such as: Fernandes (2002), Nóbrega and Tibúrcio (2004), Louppe (2012), Leal (2012-2013-2014), Mundim (2017), talking about the Body-Space-Poetics and Dance Contemporary in contemporaneity. We consider Salles' theories (2010-2016) to talk about the creative process in the arts, and Montagu (1988) to talk about the concepts about the skin. Then comes Pavis (2007) and Pelozzo (2013) to discuss the actor's Fabrics/Costume. And finally, Almeida (2017), referring to biblical studies. In addition to these authors, we dialogue with other scholars of Philosophy and Arts to contribute to our research foundation. It was possible to see that Lugar Secreto is a dance in life/life. It's not just about me dancing my experiences, but also being able to reframe them. This research contributes to the area of Performing Arts, specifically for Dance, by showing the artistic event in the Christian liturgical space, with regard to this sacred body that it creates through improvisation techniques. Therefore, it is a work whose cultural transversality is present, as it is a research that brings science, religion and art to contemporary discussion.Acesso AbertoCorposTecidoTessituramasterThesis
