Uma artista em (trâns)ito na construção poética de dança

Abstract

This article reflects on the process of artistic construction of the dance performance Cambiada. It also explores my reflections and studies during this journey as a non-binary Trans body in search of aesthetic, poetic and theoretical references of people who also walk in the opposite direction of compulsory cisnormativity. Thus, based on a contemporary perspective of dance, I seek to explore the power of my trajectory and develop a poetics of dance that emerges from my experience as an artist in (Trâns)ito. The construction of this work is structured based on methodological bricolage (NUNES, 2014), contemplating practical-artistic research procedures combined with investigation into the theoretical framework. The organization of this writing is: My spring! - presenting an overview of the work; Gender: For a transformed understanding - presenting the theoretical framework that underpins the work, as well as an overview of my research with gender studies; Art, gender and dance: Some discoveries - where I bring an expansion of the theoretical framework outlined in what comprises my discoveries and studies involving the field of dance and transgenderism; Walking: in search of a Change - as a presentation of the methodology, contextualizations and inspirations for research; The scenes: “artistics” of a body in (trans)it - with reflections arising from the artistic production and the choices that make up the dramaturgy of the work; Let the summers come - with the final considerations of the process.
