Experimentações de movimento a partir da transcriação das qualidades gestuais das Iabás Iemanjá, Oxum e Iansã presentes na mitologia Iorubá

Abstract

This final paper focuses on the gestures that are present in the mythology of the orixás Iemanjá, Oxum and Iansã, using it as a fuel for movement experiments. For this to happen, the paper gathers information from the Iorubá mythology, with the presentation of its main postural and gestural elements, which provide the foundation for the Orixás dance. Based on this study, dance laboratories are developed by the author, seeking to bring such elements to her own body in a creative way. The research seeks to articulate and give visibility to the discoveries made in practices, considering that the laboratories bring a unique and experimental perspective on the gestural characteristics of these three orixás.
