Gestualidades de jovens em praças periféricas: um álbum criativo de dramaturgias nas artes da cena

Abstract

This research presents my trajectory process as a researcher-artist, towards the creation of body dramaturgies, from an inventory of gestures from youth from the outskirts. Tuned by a mode of research in processual arts (work-in-process) and autobiographical, and by means of the phenomenological vision of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, I comprehended that existence happens in the body. To bring the studied phenomenon closer to me, I chose as the focus of the study the daily life corporality, as a means to comprehend the modes of the youth at three city squares in Belo Horizonte. I created an inventory of the gesture, recognizing that in the gestures it is possible to recognize certain modes of being in the world of those who are observed. In this process, I searched for youth characteristics for later creation of a contemporaneous dramaturgy, interlacing existence, gestures and daily life. The result was the creation of a gestures album as an idea for the use, by interested young people, of maps and creative activities, from a perspective of transcription (Harold de Campos, 2007) and improvisational routes (Marina Machado, 2018). The thesis contributes to the development of a notion of body dramaturgy, analyzes and discusses the modes of creation, portraits and approach the contemporaneous scene with, and for, the youth from the outskirts, offering to the reader a start to the flow of their own poetic, based on the use of the future of the album.
