Description
Summary:The attention to one’s own body brings perception of the present time and the now. The experience of body present is the main objective of the proposals in the classroom shared here; therefore the Dance-Education takes place as a consequence of this assumption. The pedagogical proposals are developed with improvisation strategies as a means of investigation. In other words, it is not expected to get in the scope of the allegiance of the manageable body, the submissive body exercised, trained and built by discipline. As a matter of fact, the body present by self-listening, drafts a way from inside to outside, tuned with the outward to the inward and also with the inward to the within which generates a broad network of perceptions. The body present emerges from this listening to of the body and the relationships that become established the practitioner. The student recognizes the unit bodymind, the soma with its amplitude of sensibilities in order to deconstruct the body seated and stagnated in its convictions and stabilized habits.
