EM UM PROCESSO PEDAGÓGICO DE CRIAÇÃO EM DANÇA: UMA PERSPECTIVA SISTÊMICA SOBRE COPIAR, APRENDER E CRIAR

Abstract

This research reflected on how bodies learn to create dance by copying or repeating movements, actions, gestures, and dances. The reflection (work/study) was developed through a pedagogical process of creation in dance registered in the academic period 2014.1, during the teaching cycle and disciplines of the Bachelor's Degree in Dance at the Federal University of Bahia. The situation analyzed was critically discussed based on the studies of Jorge Vieira on the General Theory of Systems and from some points of view of neuroscience and dance compatible with that theory so that it was possible to verify a correspondence between copying, learning, and creating while the body is in motor action, i.e., dancing. This way, it was verified through the copy/repetition that learning (which means to create to some extent) and to create (which means also to learn in some proportion) are very propitious actions to the permanence or survival of systems such as body, dance, and education. In compliance with the entanglement of copying, learning, and creating, the research also observed notions of creation in dance in which copying and creating or learning and creating present a certain distancing or opposition. Finally, the research reinforces the power of systems thinking to study learning and creation in dance.
