Sobre experiências de dançar improvisando em espaços urbanos de João Pessoa.

Abstract

This course conclusion work presents reflections from artistic and pedagogical experiences that relate to the perspective of those who dance in relation to urban spaces in João Pessoa. The dance considered here is improvisation as a form of artistic composition, which develops from a relational practice with the urban space. This investigation consisted of different stages of artistic, pedagogical and theoretical studies throughout graduation, carried out individually and in groups, which are presented as investigative methodological resources for this research. Ideas about the experience of dancing improvising in urban spaces were organized to understand how the dancer lets himself be affected by the encounter with the space during creation. Bibliographic studies and personal reports on improvisation in different situations of artistic experiments, on the urban space and on the concept of experience were used. An approximation is made between improvisation in dance and urban space with its characteristics of a space permeated with unpredictability that can affect and be affected in the relational construction of improvisation, placing it as an experience practice, in which whoever dances is completely involved. Thus, the experiences of dancing improvising in urban spaces are presented as a study of the relations of affectations and self-knowledge that are implied in the availability to understand and understand the relations with space in the act of dancing itself.
