Listening to the Radicating Body: Dialogues between Life, Education and Art
Body listening; teaching, radicant body; teacher-performer
This work focuses on investigative processes related to body practices focused on Body Listening, taking as reference the studies by Miller (2007) and Clark (2011) in dialogue with Merleau-Ponty's (2000) “Phenomenology of Perception” and the othemess studies (BAKHTIN & VOLOCHINOV, 1979). The research is guided by the paths, and deviations, of my experience as a dancer, actress, performer and, especially, as a teacher of Arts / Dance of the
public school of Parnamirim / RN. From the tensions born from the meeting of my body with the current structures and the ordinary situations that make up the school routine, allied to the challenge of inclusive education within the context of public education, emerges the need for a new reflection on me, my teaching and artistic processes. This work reflects the discoveries of this radicant body (BOURDIEU, 2007; MOTTA, 2014), about its own history, teaching and artistic work, paving the way for a more attentive perception about the plots that make up life and, in particular, the dialogue with these other bodies that cross us in the world, day to day and in the classroom.
