Relações do corpo com o chão: experiências artísticas, educativas e de saúde como construção de pertencimentos

Abstract

This involved research has been developed in the Professional Postgraduate Program in Dance PRODAN/UFBA, in the line of research Artistic Experiences, Production and Management in Dance. The initial theoretical-practical questions that mobilize this research are: How does the ground move me? How to move the ground? From an integrative understanding of the body, the main objective was to promote artistic, educational and health promotion experiences in an intertwined way, understood as technologies for the establishment of bonds and sense of belonging with communities and territories. The methodological approach is based on qualitative intervention research. Procedures of performative somatic research were emphasized in dance research and community experiences, which articulate reading and writing to the observation and listening of knowledge shared by the oral tradition by masters, artists and non-artists. This route is narrated in volumes, grouped sequentially, all composed of a set of letters of an affective, non-chronological nature, which make visible the research journeys as well as the very bonds and belongings woven by the artist in his professional path in Brasília, DF to Salvador, BA. They are: 1. Memorial on the research floor, which presents the main elements of the investigation and the paths followed in the Professional Master's Degree in Dance; 2. We are as we are and not chromosomes: an artistic-educational experience with Lucio Piantino; 3. Alto da Sereia Community Clinic: integrative health experience; 4. Pouso: creation experience in dance. Thus, volumes 2 and 3 contain technical technological intellectual productions, volume 4 presents production of an artistic nature – the main result of the investigation. In each of them, after presenting a summary of the research results, letters are made available that address aspects of these creation processes. A fifth volume comprises the final considerations, entitled Letters for the future, and Appendix A consists of one bibliographical intellectual production – an article published during the Professional Master's Degree. The results demonstrate the power of dance as complex knowledge, capable of promoting innovatively processes of crisscrossing artistic, educational and health experiences from an understanding of an integrated body, opening the way for new professional insertions in the world of work that meet the needs of society's demands.
