Pela câmera somática: a Dança-Teatro e o vídeo-documentário como performance

Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between dance theater and video documentary, from a somatic perspective. Somatics is understood as a method of body work (education and therapy) and aesthetic creation. In this video-choreographic process, it associates Performance Studies, Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis, and Psychoanalysis, delineating concepts such as Performativity, Dramaturgy of Contrasts, Dynamicity, Rhythm, Principles in Movement, Integration, Dynamic Pause, and body image. In a somatic duet of consciousness and memory, the performer becomes simultaneouslysubject and object, mover and observer, artist-creator and researcher-analyst, rediscovering his/her creative autonomy in the contemporary context of constant transformation.
