A dança tribal na caravana Nordeste do Brasil: corpo mídias dançantes no reposicionamento de questões STÕES

Abstract

This dissertation had as object of study the Tribal Fusion dance produced in the northeast region of Brazil. In this sense, it presented as a research question how artists understand the fusion of ethnic dances in the conception of Tribal Fusion Dance, whether artists who promote and participate in the Northeast Tribal Caravan (Caravana Tribal Nordeste), or other artists and researchers from the northeast region. From there, Tribal Fusion Dance is analyzed in order to draw attention to the complexity of the fusion approach in the research field, with an interest in issues that seemed to be unnoticed, starting with the choice of the fusion name to identify the dance to which it refers. The proposal is to point to the inadequacy of the use of this expression, precisely because it is a phenomenon that does not cease in the act of "merging". In this sense, it is assumed that fusion creation, as a phenomenon of culture, occurs by inestanáveis contaminatory flows. The Northeast Tribal Caravan was constituted in the corpus of research, precisely because its dancers in their creations approach what is a "Fusion Dance" in move, which differs from a "fused" dance. In addition, the Northeast Tribal Caravan (Caravana Tribal Nordeste) gives visibility to local movers and apparently against hegemonic, as it opposes a market trend that prioritizes hegemonically established artistic productions. The theoretical framework prioritizes the Corpomedia Theory, by the researchers Katz and Greiner (2005), since it helps to understand the body that dances as a media of exchanges that occur with environment. In addition, the contribution of authors such as BEZERRA (2017), VASCONCELOS (2019), OLIVEIRA (2019), ANDRADE (2011), SCHULZE (2013), HAN (2019) e WILLIAM (2019). The methodological approach combines bibliographic review, field research through the application of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews and the critical analysis of the mobiles of the Northeast Tribal Caravan (Caravana Tribal Nordeste). Finally, the research presented the artistic works of dancers of the Northeast Tribal Caravan, in order to approach the theoretical approach with artistic productions.
