Dança e videogame: procedimentos de criação em dança através dos conceitos de tradução intersemiótica e círculo mágico

Abstract

This dissertation develops, though artistic and academic research, possible creative procedures in dance based on the concept of Intersemiotic Translation coined by Roman Jakobson (1969) and discussed by others, such as Julio Plaza (2013) and Daniella de Aguiar (2013, 2017) in dialogue with Haroldo de Campos' (2015) translation theories. The research also discusses Johan Huizinga's (2008) concepts of Game and Magic Circle, and, based in them, it presents the translation's source and target, which are: the video game "The Last of Us" and dance creative procedures. The translation from "The Last of Us" into dance develops 3 creative procedures whose main characteristics are their interactive possibilities and invitation to audience participation, so they can experience the dance work as they would experience a video game, with the gameplay translated into dance, so it can build the scene based on interactive parameters that the game or the scene offers. This research creates such creative procedures as a methodological tool for the development of creative processes in dance within the translation proposal presented in this research. Other concepts such as experience (Larossa, 2015) and interactivity (Salen and Zimmerman, 2019) are fundamental to understanding the different layers belonging to the signs chosen for translation and how they can be translated.
