EIC: Ensaios de investigações corporais -corpos sensíveis em partituras corpóreas-

Abstract

This research focuses on the practices developed in the EIC: Body Research Workshops, a laboratory created in 2023 during the work with students in the disciplines Ateliê de Criação I and II (Creation Workshop I and II), taught by Professor Dirce Helena Benevides de Carvalho. The perspective of the research aligns with authors in the Performing Arts, notably Eugenio Barba, Hanna Thomas, Klauss Vianna, Rudolf Von Laban, Joana Tavares, Patrícia Caetano, and Maria Falkembach. In the development of the body work, we emphasize the creation of body scores, based on the understanding that each body has its own time for transformations to become possible in both individual and collective spheres. This study adopts a qualitative, ethnographic approach, motivating the creation and evaluation of the EIC with students from the Creation Workshop at UFU, alongside the experience with Joana Tavares in the Movement and Perception course at UNIRIO, and with the research and extension group led by Professor Rosemeri Rocha at UNESPAR. In this context, alongside the EIC process, an autoethnographic experiment and hybrid experimental training called Bicho Humano emerged. It is a hybrid research (online and in-person), involving dance, music, spoken word, and visual movement, which explores and investigates scenic body composition. In this regard, the research aims to systematize the methodology developed in the three aforementioned experiments, further enriched by the developments of Bicho Humano.
