Histórias ds processos de ensino-aprendizagem em dança: Maria Fux e a escolinha de Arte no Brasil

Abstract

This research aims to understand the contributions of Maria Fux, regarding her experiences at the Escolinha de Arte in Brazil, to the debate on the history of teachinglearning processes in Dance. Thus, we organized the study into three dance/educational movements entitled: (1) Maria Fux and her Dance Teaching processes; (2) Philosophical conceptions of School Dance Teaching, the creations of the concepts of Dance/Education in Brazil and their dialogues with Maria Fux's practices, and (3) Philosophical tensions between the assumptions of the Escolinha de Arte do Brasil and the assumptions of Maria Fux. At first, we present a biographical excerpt of Fux, along with his teaching experiences, and the description of his pedagogical practices in Dance for formal education (organized by levels and age groups) and for people with disabilities. Subsequently, in the second movement, we expose one of the possibilities to understand the philosophical conceptions of School Dance Teaching, in effect, noting the concepts elaborated by these trends in our country, so that we can recognize the methodological processes and their conceptions of the body. In turn, in the third movement, we propose a tension between Maria’s assumptions and those defended in the Escolinha de Arte do Brasil (EAB) and in the Escolinhas de Arte Movement (MEA), to understand what were the discursive bases that legitimized the narratives of this artist- Argentine teacher in our country. Therefore, it was necessary to adopt data collection procedures through semi-structured interviews and documentary research in newspapers, which are presented in the chapter that describes the methodological approach, results and discussion. From the discursive analysis, through the archeology of knowledge, it was possible to map several actions and presentation that Fux developed in the country, linked to EAB and MEA, such as his participation in: Course of Dance in Education, Intensive Course of Art in Education and the 1st Art Course in Special Education. Due to the reflections carried out, we believe that this research contributes to displace and decentralize hegemonic discourses about Fux and Dance Teaching in our country, recognizing Maria as an important character for the projection of teaching-learning processes in Dance for school education.
