DANCING TOURS IN THE STREETS OF PELOTAS: PREPARING FOR THE UNKNOWN

Abstract

This text is about the Caminhos da Dança na Rua extension project, from the UFpel’s Dance Course, which is about the dance-architecturecity trajectory. The main objective of this work is to discuss the impossibility of separating the body preparation and the poetic “products” emerged along the work. As the text’s bibliography, we used the autors: Cohen (2004), Freitas (2011), Jacques (2002 and 2008), Miranda (2008), Rancière (2008) and Silva (2005). The project is developed in “safe spaces” (classroom) and “risk spaces” (city), with consciousness body technical experimentations, exploring the relationship between the participants among themselves and with the public space, about their physicality and social characteristics, causing different poetics. The community is involved directly and indirectly in the experimentation process on the street, having the role of the viewer and the artist mixed and the participants finding other dances in themselves.
