SUMMARY:

In this dissertation I reveal experiences of the children’s playing bodies in kindergarten, stimulated by elements of African culture, through the universe of the gods orixás, with centrality in the Yoruba nation. The art creation processes in performing arts research developed at NEI / Cap / UFRN, involved a group of 5 and 6 year olds, the participation of the 2 teachers responsible for this class and other professionals of the institution. It was developed observations, interviews with adults, dialogues with children and artistic workshops with playful mediation: storytelling and body games, anchored in the languages of dance, theater and the use of elements of musicality. Children's drawings, photographs and video records enriched the narratives and a closer approximation of the phenomenon experienced. The author Merleau-Ponty and his phenomenological look on the body and childhood, as well as the proposition of the researcher Marina Machado, especially with the concept of child performer, among other authors, supported my theoretical and methodological path. Anchorages on Africanities, blackness, orishas, based on authors such as Kabengele Munanga, Clyde W. Ford, Teodora Alves, Sandra Petit, Kiusam de Oliveira, Reginaldo Prandi, and others, with their Afro-referenced approaches and concepts, subsidized a critical and reflective path in order to recognize and value the African descent riches in early childhood education. This academic, artistic and political course corroborates the applicability of Law No. 10,639 / 03, as art in everyday school has a relevant role in the dissemination of dialogues, knowledge and practices that favor more inclusive and democratic ethnic-racial relations. The richness, intensity, exchanges and learning with the children moved an Afro-poetic doing backed by an African ancestry, broadening and intensifying our playful experiences.
