Pathways of a Disassembly: From the Poetics of the Body to the Contemporary Scene

Abstract

This lecture-demonstration aims to synthesize a creative journey that resulted in the production of the choreographic work Rehearsal on Small Distances: Study to Infinity. This work investigated the relationship between body/space from two main references: the anthropological studies of Edward Hall regarding the use of space by humans within the context of culture and the research on the phenomenological space conducted by the somatic educator Hubert Godard. Communication will be made in the disassembly of the scene, a kind of educational performance, with the intention of making the artistic process visible and promoting a discussion about the structural systems involved in the creation.
