This paper discusses the creative process of the street performance Motim (Mutiny) (2015) from the perspective of laughter as a bio-potent performative action. We discuss how the relational thinking emerged within the framework of a process dramaturgy (Kerkhove, 1997), conceptualizing creative thinking as a network (Salles, 2006). The collaborative creative process of Motim started with three ways of approaching the act of laughing: physicality, memory and contagion. By focusing on contagion, we will discuss how relational thinking was installed in the creative process of Motim and was powered by the investigative aspect of laughter as contagion.
Este texto é um exercício imaginativo de construção de relações entre a improvisação e a composição em dança com processos de cultivo da terra e seus saberes ancestrais. Partindo do conceito de compostagem como decomposição coletiva fúngica para o cultivo e transformação de matérias, de que modo a improvisação relaciona seres vivos para a regeneração de ideias, práticas, saberes e existires? A partir de referências que entrecruzam diversos campos de atuação, adubamos as nossas experiências com as palavras de pessoas como Sandra Benites (2021), Kaká Werá Jecupé (2020), Bel Hooks (2019), Vandana Shiva (2020), Jussara Setenta (2007), Stefano Mancuso (2019), Davi Kopenawa (2015), Florinda Donner (2009), Fayga Ostrower (2013), Ricardo Basbaum (2000) e Byung-Chul Hang (2019), na fluidez e organicidade que faz parte do corpo e seus atravessamentos. Deste modo, provocamos também com este texto questões acerca das referências da dança e suasporosidades.
