TECHNOLOGICAL MEDIATION IN SPECTACLE PREPARATION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: AN ANALYSIS EXERCISE ON DANCING TOGETHER WHEN YOU ARE PHYSICALLY SEPARATED.
Dance; Body; Emotions; Technique; Anthropology
This work aims to dialogue dance, technique and emotions, through an ethnography of the creation process of the show at Gaya Dança Contemporânea / UFRN, which operates in the city of Natal / RN. I choose to focus on the development of choreographic works that address existential issues (anguish, loneliness, fear, joy, the relationship between the living) and sensory (on the part of the senses: sight, touch, smell and hearing). Putting emphasis, at this moment, on the choreographic works presented during the pandemic of COVID-19, dialoguing the aesthetic dimension that bases the production of contemporary dance, with the technical proposals for video dance and choreo-editing, present in the scenic clippings of Corpo Isolated, Para when summer arrives and Poemas Dançados II and III, presented through the YouTube platform, on the channels of 72nd SBPC Cultural and Gaya Dança Contemporânea. Also enriched by a personal dance practice, this research was born from an interpretive and collaborative anthropology. The proximity to the group placed the researcher at the center of the concerns of choreographic creation, sharing the joys and sorrows of the bodies affected by the period established by the pandemic in 2020. As its name suggests, Corpo Isolated messes with the emotions and imaginary about the sensations of the body forced to isolate itself socially. For when summer arrives and Poems danced II and III, they narrate the discoveries of “me”, in the face of the many reflections brought by the moment, under the narration of poetry by Clarice Lispector, in the voice, in the eyes and in the gestures of the interpreter-creators da Gaya Dança Contemporânea. In this group context, I present the bodies that create, improvise, feel and reflect social issues that inhabit dance gestures in preparation for Entre Olhares e Ventos. The bibliography runs through dance and emotions anthropology, tracing a relationship between the anthropologist-dancer and her affects on the group's collective relations.
