Germinar estados corporais em dança : a performatividade do corpo envolvido no cultivo de plantas.

Abstract

This undergraduate final work aims to understand how cultivating plants mobilizes bodily states for dance, in the convergence of cultivation work with the creative process. The present investigation protagonizes sensoperceptive experiences with plants, considering cultivation both literally and figuratively, regarding what is cultivated in/with the body. By paying attention to performativity (Almeida, Pereira, 2020; Setenta, 2008) among body states (Fabião, 2010; Domenici, 2008; Laranjeira, 2013), the research methodologically engages with the propositions of the Lab Corpo Palavra (Bernardi, 2021) and with the study of the Somatic-Performative approach (Fernandes, 2018). The image of a kaleidoscope permeates the entire journey, bringing reflections from field experiences in the context of family farming and floriculture, which are crossed by affective memories of the researcher's maternal lineage. Thus, writings, drawings, and improvisations of sensitive body-environment managements are presented, germinating a dance called "rama". Reflecting on the creative process as a producer of knowledge within the scope of Practice as Research (Scialom, 2023), the development of this work mobilizes an experience that transits between human and vegetal, unveiling a twisted, tangled, and expansive relationship of a nature-being. In this way, the research presents the creative dance process with bodily states as a fertile and potentializing path for performatives and ecosomatics narratives.
