Dança Sensorial: metodologias de ensino e aprendizagem e sua aplicação em um processo de criação em dança para pessoa com deficiência visual

Abstract

This paper aim to create teaching and learning sensorial methodologies applied to a dance project developed with visually impaired dancers. The concepts that support this research are: the háptico from Ingold (2015) e Deleuze e Guattari (1977) and the Phénoménologie de la Perception from Merleau-Ponty (2011). The poetical process of creation happened in the Dance-theater School of the Federal University of Pará (ETDUFPA). The experimentation laboratories were executed considering two major areas: 1. The háptica dance and 2. The sonorous body, both based on the dance experience of the subjects of this research and the exploitation of their remaining senses, as well as the application of the resulting methodologies from experimentation laboratories in the spectacle Corpus Sensorialis. The analysis has two subjects, a blind dancer (man) and a low vision dancer (woman). The approach used is the hermeneutical-phenomenological. The field research is grounded by the study case. For data collection it was used audiovisual recordings, photographs; semi structured interviews and recorded statements, collected during the laboratories and spectacle. The poetical and theoretical research, the basis of this study, brought as a possibility planning and performing dance from an háptica and sonorous perception. The creation laboratories highlighted the urgency in considering the real necessities of the visually impaired dancers. From these experiences, emerged some sensorial methodologies when planning and performing dance with visually impaired dancers. These methodologies are based on their bodily experiences. The methodological propositions, tested in the creation laboratory, were applied in the spectacle Corpus Senrorialis and it demonstrated a way of planning and performing dance that contemplate the reminiscence senses of visually impaired dancers. In addition, it fostered a more autonomous performance form the dancers that developed significantly sensorial perceptions.
