Danças gordas contemporâneas: um estudo de configurações artísticas com o laboratório de criação em dança “banhanças”

Abstract

This master's research is a co-implicated study of audiovisual scenic artistic configurations in the process of the creation laboratory in Dança “Banhanças” (Porto Iracema das Artes/CE), with the aim of understanding the fat bodies that dance as “contemporary fat dances”. and, thus, tension the so-called contemporary dances in the Brazilian context. We start from the work Meninas do Brasil – better known as “As Três Gordinhas” or simply, “As Gordinhas” –, by the Bahian artist Eliana Kertész, converging to the analysis of artistic works by two fat women artists, one of each: Peso Bruto (2017), by Jussara Belchior Santos (SC); and Engasgada - um ensaio para regurgitar o mundo (2020), by Gal Martins (SP). The theoretical framework refers to the following dance-related themes and body that dances as political acts: creation, critique and performativity in contemporary dance (ARRAIS, 2013; ROCHA, 2011; MUNDIM, 2009; Seventy, 2008); gordophobia and body standards in society (JIMENEZ, 2020; VIGARELLO, 2012); and the crisis and the link as resistance and activism (Habib, 2020, 2021; Greiner, 2010). Our aim is to present the fat body in contemporary dance and its relevance in contemporary artistic creation and production when mobilizing other ways of being, thinking and doing dance with regard to both what is configured as processuality and guiding fat corporalities in their performativities. dancers, aiming to contribute to future studies on performative dance dramaturgy.
