Dançando o movimento cotidiano na escola

Abstract

This work is a reflection on a dance creation process developed with a group of students from Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Jornalista Raimundo Nonato Batista in João Pessoa, PB. Its objective is to improve feelings and hence self-perception, the perception of others and of the environment where the student belongs. A creative dance workshop was suggested based on the movement study by Rudolf Laban. Other references were the study of perception by Merleau-Ponty and also John Dewey's thought about significant aesthetic and artistic experience. The result of this study was a creative work presented to the school community called Dia a Dia.
