Descrição
In this article, I started from the experience of somatic approaches to movement at the undergraduate dance course of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria to propose a discussion about the pedagogical and artistic implications of this choice. I explain my point of view as a teacher and artist, as well as my understanding of the use of somatic approaches to dance, and explore the students’ experiences. Within the framework of performance as an analytical paradigm, articulated from the viewpoint of Somaesthetics, I point out some ways provided by such a choice in promoting emancipatory pedagogical practices and expanding the artistic possibilities of dancers. ||Dans cet article, je présente mon expérience des approches somatiques du mouvement dans le cours de danse de l’Université Fédérale de Santa Maria et je propose une discussion sur les implications pédagogiques et artistiques de ce choix. J’explique mon point de vue de professeur et artiste, ainsi que la façon dont je conçois l’utilisation des approches somatiques en danse, et je propose une incursion dans l’expérience des étudiants. A partir du paradigme analytique de la performance, en relation avec l’approche de la Soma-Esthétique, je présente quelques pistes ouvertes par ce choix pour proposer des pratiques pédagogiques émancipatrices et élargir les possibilités artistiques des danseurs. ||In this article, I started from the experience of somatic approaches to movement at the undergraduate dance course of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria to propose a discussion about the pedagogical and artistic implications of this choice.
