Apontamentos para uma história evolutiva do movimento: uma colaboração com as questões contemporâneas da dança

Abstract

The object of tthis dissertation is located in the intersection between Art and Science and establishes a dialogue between the evolutive history of movement and contemporary dance. The evolutive history of movement makes possible to understand that the movement specializes itself when there is a necessity. Thus, it is possible to propose the existence of a specialized movement called „dance movement‟. The perception that the constitution of „dance movement‟ echoes traces attached to the evolutive history of movement produced the hypothesis that beyond a specialized movement called „dance movement‟, there is also an organized coherence of actions that can be called „dance logic‟. The Contemporary Dance has its own logic. Thinking about this organizative logic does not qualify the debates that come from the association between movement and displacement and between dance and choreography. The proposition here is that there is no need that „dance movement‟ should be always present, since that Contemporary Dance is regulated by its logic, and not through the existence or non-existence of dance steps. By now, it is the first stage of the research that is been presented. It is dedicated to the study of the construction of the human motricity and the relation between movement and body. The objective is to present an other perspective to the debate that enunciates dance and choreography as synonymous. The proposition of the existence of what is here called “dance movement” and “logic of dance” was based on a bibliographical revision under an epistemological matrix. Researchers as Katz, Greiner, Lepecki, Vieira Kirstein, Llinás, Alberts and Churchland were brought to the research among others. The dissertation is based on the co dependence between body and environment in which the movement plays the role of the evolutive requirement. These understandings enables to enunciate that movement embodies itself and that dance movement is articulated with neuronals maps similar to those maps that establish the thought in this body. In this perspective, it becomes possible to investigate the existence of a dance movement way of thinking.
