O corpo como estrangeiridade íntima: o "trabalho sobre si" como território de refazimento nos processos de criação em dança contemporânea

Abstract

This research focused on the “mismatches” that contemporary dance mobilizes in the dancer’s process from the perspective of “work on oneself”, elaborated by Jerzy Grotowski. Starting from the hypothesis that the “work on oneself” articulates practices in which the notion of a “itself” is destabilized, we propose a dialogue between this notion and the concept of Unheimlich, by Sigmund Freud, privileging, in this articulation, the opacity of the body, revealing itself as an “intimate foreignness”. Based on this dialogue between the concept of “work on oneself” and this kind of “intimate foreignness” this research investigated the creative processes in contemporary dance through the works Hyenna - não deforma, não tem cheiro, não solta as tiras, by Tuca Pinheiro, and Vestígios, by Marta Soares.
