Mandinga no pé: (re) elaborando existências para uma narrativa outra do corpo cênico

Abstract

This work, entitled Mandinga no Pé: (re)elaborating existences for a different narrative of the scenic body, is the result of studies carried out in the Professional Master's Course in Dance. It is an investigation about the aesthetic-creative methods involving Afro Soteropolitan Dances and Capoeira Regional, through the notion of “mandinga no pé” as the movement synthesis in a process that provokes capoeira players to dance, and dancers to play capoeira. In all, five productions were presented, which are the synthesis of experiences as a master's student and researcher at PRODAN, which is directly involved with the object. Thus, the following technical-didactic productions were presented: a learning guide; an expanded summary; an article; a memorial, a product in which I make room to tell my professional trajectory, as well as to demonstrate the observations in relation to the seven components studied in the program and, finally, an audiovisual artistic production in the format of a mini documentary elaborated with the intention of demonstrating the notion of Mandinga no Pé in the context of everyday life in the city of Salvador, Bahia.
