CORPOTERRITÓRIO: escritarias de arte e vida cotidiana num processo de criação e(m) dança

Abstract

This work considers the body and creation in dance based on the paths of everyday life and memories of the author of the research, activated in/with the territory of Canaan, municipality of Trairi, Ceará. It is in the creative relationship with the territory that the notions of community and collective action are embodied, which mark the artistic productions of Arreios Cia de Dança, of which the author, artist-researcher, is a member. In this relationship, childhood games, memories, poetic writings and the affectability of the members of Arreios Cia de Dança are activated through the notion of “land of memories”, conversational moments and experiments in dance, dramaturgically reconstructing the show CorpoMar, which has been presented since 2021, until today. In this path, a creative seeding was carried out, with the objective of recreating scenes from the aforementioned show. Authors such as Leda Maria Martins, Conceição Evaristo and Antônio Bispo were consulted to help us think about the notion of memory. With Milton Santos and Célia Xakriabá, we understood ourselves as bodies-territory. The conversations with Thereza Rocha's studies allowed us to create dramaturgies that intertwine art and everyday bodies in the processes of creating bodies and/or dances, using the show CorpoMar as a reference.
