Experienciando os sentidos: trajetos poéticos de uma construção artística

Abstract

This article aims to share the trajectory and reflections of a creative process developed as part of my final essay as Bachelor in Dance in the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Goiás – IFG. To achieve this, I develop a descriptive experience telling with the goal to properly explain how the building of the videodance titled “Exist(ing) in Time” came to be. The artistic work features as a theme the experience of the senses stimulated by breathing, as well as having the senses of tact, hearing and sight explored in the research, using as base the concept of Larossian experience. I utilized somatic education as a trigger of sensations, perceptions and creative possibilities, which helped to unearth and share the dance that lies within me, hand in hand with the technology from video and the internet as a possibility for contemporaneous artistic creation. The dance that I research comes from a contemporaneous background, due to coming out of itself, finding roots in the consciousness of its sensation and not in its movement’s form. The organization of this paper is divided in 3.2.1, Action, to showcase the essay; A Bit of Literature, to pinpoint the references that base the production; Uncertain Paths to delineate the methodology; The Experiment (ACTIONS) to focus on the reflections originated from the artistic production; and Last Steps with the final considerations regarding the process.
