Espiralar : a natureza do Eu-Corpo em simbiose com a dança.

Abstract

This research investigates the contribution of self-care practices to the improvement of artists. It seeks to identify and implement routines for physical, emotional, and mental care. It fosters spaces for dialogue and practices that strengthen belonging and identity, creating an environment conducive to decolonial narratives in the context of dance and performance. It conducts an immersion with an experimental group using the Somatic-Performative Approach as a methodology. Together with the focus group, it develops a creative process in ecoperformance called "Spiral". It reflects on the challenges in today's society for maintaining health and well-being. The study seeks to enable bodies immersed in a sick society to perform self-care practices. The author weaves the research together with her creative processes in Dance throughout the present course. She observes the somatic spirals expanding holistically in her trajectory. She perceives in somatic education, yoga, and contemplative moments in nature foundations for self-care. This research is the result of affection, dance and the search for a deeper meaning in life, through reconnection with our inner nature and the environment.
