Escola internacional de dança moderna: projeto político-pedagógico para formação profissional de artistas da dança em plataforma digital (EAD)

Abstract

This work is a Political Pedagogical Project for the professional training of dance artists on a digital platform. It aims to disseminate North American modern dance techniques, specifically the techniques of Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Lester Horton and José Limón, as well as the Silvestre technique, developed in Brazil. The technical-professional training course is an initiative of the International School of Modern Dance, founded in 2020 in the city of Rio de Janeiro, using a hybrid learning model. The course in question, which is the result of other projects, such as congresses, masterclasses, seminars and free courses with Brazilian and foreign teaching artists, is located on a digital platform whose objective is to expand the dissemination of modern dance techniques in Brazil and South America, forming an international artistic-pedagogical collaboration network. The development of the Technical Course Project, following the national curriculum guidelines for Technical Professional Education at Secondary Level, aims to fill a gap in dance training in the country, especially in modern dance. After ten years of experimentation and study in this field, the demand for continued learning of these techniques in Brazil was observed. Distance learning for dance has been necessary since the advent of the pandemic period, with learning becoming embodied through digital means. As a basis for the development of contemporary educational training, we have anchored our discussions around the theoretical references of Saviani, Morin, Moran, Najmanovich, Freire and Vygotsky, sociology, and philosophy, with Sennett and Kuhn, as well as the pioneers of modern dance. In short, the project aims to train and disseminate knowledge at national and international level via virtual and face-to-face environments in order to make professional training in the artistic field of dance more accessible and democratic. The project is guided by Law No. 12.711, of November 29, 2012, and reserves part of its places for students who have fully attended high school in public schools and come from low-income families.
