Educação somática: um caminho pelos estados de criança (fomos - estamos - cuidamos)

Abstract

This research was developed with the desire to present the self-perceptive practice of somatic education as a possibility for adults to be with themselves and interact with the being-child based on their own knowledge and practice. In order to outline this understanding, I discussed the perception of being a body at the center of knowledge, as a part of nature; narrating and describing actions that demonstrate a new approach to the being-child that we were, what we are now and what we care for. Along the way, my work as a teacher-learner crossed with me as a researcher, building the concepts of ARMOR, OPENING, RUPTURE and STRUCTURE, related to drawings that were already part of the search for understanding the body and how this reverberates in relations with life. Researching also came to fruition through the practice of these concepts, which became the guidance of research itself – the body that I am in the world, in researching, in writing, in the search for something new, in meeting people – dancing and creating a web that was revealed, it was narrated and which still extends beyond any full stop that may has been necessary place here.
