‘GRACE’ Dance is process
Dance; Creative process; Files; ’Graça’.
This research arose from an experience following the “GRACA” creation process of Cia Giradanca/RN as a Videomaker. The dance was created by Brazilian choreographer Elisabete Finger and danced by Ana Vieira, Jania Santos and Joselma Soares. Given this fertile dance scenario, typical of the creation environment, my theme is the perception and observation of dance and its articulations with transdisciplinary principles (SANTOS, 2008) in which dance, in its way of investigating contents and concepts, navigates across fields of knowledge, viewing dance issues in the aesthetic, ethical and political context. As a methodological process technique, I used the files generated in the creation process, in the format of video, audio, photo and text, to investigate the methodologies for monitoring processes that were built in this experience. The methodology used comes from the contributions of the cartography method (ESCOSSIA, KASTRUP, PASSOS, 2015), which in my investigative and procedural path will be elaborated with the clues that make the most sense during the research, a window to try other approaches to studying the dance creation. This study aims to investigate frictions between dance, based on the creative process “GRACA”, and transdisciplinary principles. The study aims to delve deeper into the methodologies of artistic creation, developed in the midst of dance, as well as exploring the perspective of those who follow the creation process, a function that awakens dance tracks in technological mediation.
