”Dance, Diversity and Nature Elements”
- DETAILED CONTENT DESCRIPTION (150 words or more):
This workshop purposes a brief description/experience of my classes at Paratodos Project (paratodos means “for all”) and the biomedical sciences disciplines I teach at UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) in Dance Graduation – physiology and kinesiology. The Paratodos classes group is composed by neighbours (from different ages, 60 and older), patients from psychiatric hospitals (Pinel and IPUB), wheelchair users and a rehabilitation institution for blind people (I. Benjamin Constant). They not only come to dance but they also read and discuss university contents - anatomy, prevenction, health, disability studies and so on. We study the body structures from a dance perspective, making a review of Laban, Sá Earp and Vianna`s concepts, theories of human movement and arts. This workshop purposes a creative movement research – individually, in pairs and in groups – based on the nature elements – air, fire, earth and water - and body systems (Bartenieff, Bainbridge-Cohen, presocratic phylosophers). We want to invite disabled persons to come to the workshop. In the end, each group will present its own artistic creation.
