Following a stay in New York, another choreographer entered the \"collection of US dancers with a camera in their hand\", and the use of cinema elements on stage. Cathy Weis's work stands out for its originality in this area, which made me want to interview her in 2022 while staying at her loft. The pretext for my stay in New York was to consult and watch films and videos at the public library (NYPL), visit museums, watch performances, and eventually take dance classes. However, because I was living in the historical terrain of postmodern dance in the United States, I began to see research as \"fieldwork\" rather than just \"archive work\".\u0000[1] \"Attention and Choreographic Thinking\" is the title of Sílvia Pinto Coelho's post-doctoral project (ICNOVA, FCSH 2019-2025).","PeriodicalId":498295,"journal":{"name":"Revista Estud(i)os de Dança","volume":"2 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140239434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was used to analyse the concept of social dance, which is the key part of the researcher's study, developed within the framework of the interuniversity doctoral programme in Art and Education at the University of Girona. It concludes that concept analysis is a method of practical application that contributes to deepening, innovating, and generating knowledge of dance.","PeriodicalId":498295,"journal":{"name":"Revista Estud(i)os de Dança","volume":"11 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140240972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

É proposta deste artigo refletir sobre os elementos que caracterizam o uso do estado de transe como inspiração num processo criativo, de um adepto de Vodum, quando passa o seu conhecimento, aprendido com os seus mestres e ancestrais, para uma criação artística. Importa conhecer os princípios e fundamentos que permitem construir/desconstruir a configuração corpórea existente no estado de transe, na criação da performance Affôtè. Metodologicamente socorremo-nos do trabalho de campo realizado no Benim, entre 2018 e 2022, da observação da obra e da aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas ao bailarino, a adeptos de Vodum e a Hounnous, no âmbito de uma pesquisa de doutoramento em Dança na Faculdade de Motricidade Humana. Como principal tendência conclusiva destaca-se que Guillaume Niedjo reinterpreta permanentemente a cultura Vodum aprendida e experienciada pelo seu corpo, através da recuperação de comportamentos (Schechner, 1985) ancestrais, seguindo as regras e costumes implícitos na sua cultura. Concomitantemente permite-se ou não usar o estado transe como inspiração criativa. Em Affôtè, transpõe e interpreta a desconstrução do estado de transe uma cerimónia, numa performance do “fazer acreditar” ou “fazer de conta” (Zenícola, 2001), respeitando as regras do que pode ou não ser exposto, assentes na autorreflexão artística e sociocultural do autor.","PeriodicalId":498295,"journal":{"name":"Revista Estud(i)os de Dança","volume":"12 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140239391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
