MOVEMENT DESIGN IN CREATION PROCESS

Abstract

Studies on creative processes under the performing arts’ scope have resorted to genetic criticism, that considers the piece of art since its construction process. Dealing with such memories involves knowing that the recollection brings about plenty of invention and forgetfulness, therefore, it cannot be taken as a recall of what actually happened. The motivation for this investigation was the will to understand the body in process under the course of creation of As últimas flores do jardim das cerejeiras (The last flowers of the cherry orchard) — inspired in The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov — by the group Oficcina Multimédia, from Belo Horizonte. We have worked with seven artist notebooks of the group director Ione de Medeiros to study the body in process in the given piece. Image-drawings registered may be understood as invention acts of the real which enable new appropriations. Saying no to the economy of meaning under the representation point of view, I sought the meaning construction that the performative condition of the register allowed me. The register which conceives dance movement.
