A experiência dos excessos de movimentação do corpo que dança na contemporaneidade

Abstract

The experience of excessive movement in dance choreographies in contemporary times is discussed, within the context of globalized dance in times of internet, problematizing the artistic axes of creation, professionalization and performance. Initially, it is found that selective dance auditions show the spectacularization of the body that dances in what is called "excesses of movement", in the sense of performance and technical virtuosity. From there, it seeks to indicate possible emancipatory perspectives in dance choreographies in media environments, in view of the understanding of the dancing body as regulated by capitalist neoliberal logics, a notion that materializes in dance images disseminated and shared in the bios/media environment. To this end, we will critically analyze three audiovisual configurations of dance as media and discursive evidencers of the dancing body: 1) choreography tutorials; 2) reality show auditions; and 3) movement music videos. It reflects on the educational co-implications of what come to be the politics of movement in the professionalization of Dance, based on a conceptual construction mobilized by people who are authors of dance, such as Arrais (2015), Machado (2012), Lepecki (2017) and Foster (2014) – a structuring reference of the theoretical articulation –, of communication and political philosophy, tensioning the debate on the production of dances as choreographies in contemporary hyperproductivity and the possibilities of destabilizing understandings driven by the mercantile spectacularization of dancing bodies.
