Encantaria-corpo: processos de criação e poéticas em dança

Abstract

This research-creation is affiliated with the line of research Poetics and Processes of performance in Arts of the Graduate Program in Arts at the Federal University of Pará (PPGARTES/ICA/UFPA). Its main objective is to carry out immersion and emergence experiences (EIEs) based on the encounter between immanent dance (Mendes, 2010), “encantarias” (Loureiro, 2008) and the notion of poetry (Cotê, 2015). Proposing to underline theoretical-artistic interactions emerging from the creation process, the EIEs are the research methodology from which the procedures of experimentation, creation, reflection, as well as poetics in dance, are born. The processes of artistic creation take as inspiration the magical worlds submerged in Amazonian rivers: the “encantarias’, a kind of transcendental dimension where the enchanted beings who poetize the existence of these rivers live. The idea of an enchanted depth in the river is found in this research with the immanent dance, establishing as the main theoretical-practical proposition the notion of “encantaria of the body”, which had been applied together with the Companhia Moderno de Dança collective, aiming to stimulate creative processes. The research results are the scenic work Na Beira, the videodances Poesia Submersa, Vamos falar de poesia?, Nas águas do invisível, Onde estará o além das coisas?, Dar-se em Vertigem, Ecos das Entranhas e Seres de Si and this memorial text.
