Abstract(s)
4em1- Construção do Corpo Elemento é uma proposta performativa que se baseia na análise, através do movimento, dos quatro elementos da Natureza - Terra, Água, Ar e Fogo. Ao longo desta monografia pretendo expor o processo criativo, incluindo inspirações e referências bibliográficas, bem como os “tormentos” e “deslumbramentos” que originaram a performance final. 4em1- Construção do Corpo Elemento é o culminar de dois anos de pesquisa sobre a interação entre os quatro elementos da Natureza e o corpo em movimento, que se iniciou com o projeto Matéria (In)CORPOrada durante a Pós-Graduação em Dança Contemporânea na ESMAE (Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espetáculo do Porto) e que emerge na presente monografia enquanto reflexão sobre a criação de uma performance artística no âmbito do Mestrado em Artes Cénicas - Interpretação e Direção Artística na mesma instituição de ensino. Mantendo como focos a Terra, a Água, o Ar, o Fogo e o Corpo percebi que esta era uma oportunidade para dançar os elementos da Natureza e para isso tinha que, consequentemente, descobrir como é que o meu corpo dança, a sua história, a sua experiência de sete anos nas danças africanas e de que forma isso me guia na descoberta das qualidades de movimentos de cada um dos elementos. Ao longo da criação é feita uma pesquisa através da observação participante de aulas regulares das danças da costa oeste de África, lecionadas por Eva Azevedo, e do curso profissional Farisogo Sira- O Caminho do Corpo também lecionado pela mesma docente. Desta pesquisa surgem qualidades e padrões de movimento que posteriormente se cruzam com a pesquisa empírica dos quatro elementos da Natureza e que são levados para a prática através da consciência corporal e de técnicas como a improvisação e consciência corporal. 4em1 que é o culminar da vontade de um corpo de ser ele próprio Elemento.
4in1 – Developing the body as an Element is a performance proposal based on an analysis of the four elements of Nature through movement - Earth, Water, Air and Fire. My intent throughout this dissertation is to describe the creative process by including not only inspirations and bibliographic references but also the “torments” and “wonders” that led to the final performance. 4in1- Developing the body as an Element is the culmination of 2 years of research on the interaction amongst the 4 Mother Nature elements and the body in movement which started with the project Matéria (In)CORPOrada during my post-graduation in Contemporary Dance in ESMAE (Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espetáculo do Porto) and now emerges in this dissertation that reflects on the creation of an artistic performance within the scope of the Masters in Performing Arts – Interpretation and Artistic Direction in the teaching University mentioned above. Keeping in focus the Earth, Water, Air, Fire and the Body I realized this was an opportunity to dance the elements of Nature and in order to do so I had to, consequently, find out how my own body dances, it’s history, it’s experience over the seven years in African Dance and in what way it could guide me into the discovery of the quality of the movement within each one of the elements. During the course of the creative process a participative observational research was done by regularly attending West Coast African Dance classes, teached by Eva Azevedo, and also undertaking the professional course Farisogo Sira- O Caminho do Corpo with the same teacher. Qualities and movement patterns arose from this research and were posteriorly crossed with the empiric research of the four elements of Nature translating into performance by the techniques like improvisation and body consciousness. 4in1 is the result of a will of the body to be itself, an Element.
