Grupo de dança Hun em performance: prática artística como reflexão crítica no espaço escolar

Abstract

This article is a reflection on the investigation carried out throughout 2019, at the Fenelon Câmara Municipal School, in the Ernesto Geisel neighborhood, in the city of João Pessoa-PB, next to the Hun Dance Group, formed by students of this instituition. The ideas were gathered from dance classes taught, from the coordination of creative processes and artistic presentations followed by final debates between classes. It appears that these artistic experiences, between scene and appreciation, become, in their continuity, ways for the students to critically and politically identify their respective places in the world as citizens, since the subjects that the performances provoke in the public of students / as appreciators can reverberate in new perspectives on their realities as students / residents / people. The research was participant, with a qualitative approach at the local level. The understanding of performativity and liberating education permeates during writing, as well as the issues of autonomy, racial gender and ethnic issues that come from performances and reverberate between presentations and debates at school. The artistic creations observed in the process were: Feminicide, it's about me, it's about everyone !. Every form of love deserves to be respected and Why do you call me? These activities provided students, teachers and school management with an awareness of a social reality, which is often oppressive, but which is subject to change based on the practice generated by this reflection and the debates, led by the students.
