Gestos Cotidiano: cartografando a dança improvisação

Abstract

The present study focuses on the research line "Body, Contemporaneity, Language Production, and Aesthetics in Dance," proposing a cartography of dance that utilizes the language of improvisation through everyday gestures. Through this cartographic research, the aim is to investigate the intrinsic relationship between dance,improvisation, and daily gestures, analyzing dance as a form of artistic expression that emerges from to research of gestures. In this context, the central proposal is to explore the communicative dynamics that arise through bodily mimesis, with a special emphasis on the gestural intentions that permeate human interactions. A practical example of this approach is the project "Trilhas do Corpo," created in 2022 in Manaus/AM, where laboratories were conducted that underpin the present research.The objectives of this project include understanding how bodily expressions contribute to everyday dialogue and highlighting cartographic narratives that challenge conventional standards of artistic expression. Furthermore, the investigation delves into the invisibility of certain bodies and gestures in contemporary dance, promoting critical reflection and valuing diversity in the expression of movement.
