Corpo disponível: processo proprioceptivo na formação para as artes da cena

Abstract

The result presented here, as research in art, weaves a path of intertwining between life and art. The desire for this study was born from experiences during the actress-researcher’s training. The central theme deals with the psychosomatic blocks that emerging artists can present when being on stage. Conceptually, the research is based on the concepts of psychiatrist José Angelo Gaiarsa about the complex system between motor skills and behaviors, to defend proprioceptive development as a possibility of making the Muscular Armor of Character (Wilhelm Reich) more flexible. At the same time, it draws a parallel with the actor pedagogy developed by director Jerzy Grotowski, who advocated the release of psychophysical blocks or the elimination of obstacles, investing in self-penetration, a “vianega” that aims at the “total act” on stage. Between concepts and praxis, we pursue the state of Body Available for the scene with a work proposal, our investment resulted in complementary principles for an approach to training in performing arts.
