Abstract

Introductory biographical article about the artist and researcher Joana Lopes and her investigative procedure called Choreodramaturgy. Joana Lopes drew a long trajectory as an art-educator, journalist, theater director and playwright, having produced monumental works that marked the São Paulo scene in the 1980s. During the more than 20 years she worked with the undergraduate course in Dance at University of Campinas, São Paulo, Joana Lopes developed the Choreodramaturgy, a dramaturgical writing for dance. Choreodramaturgy arises from the fruitful dialogue between Rudolf Laban's Art of Movement and the dramatic game. It is not by chance that Coreodramaturgia became an updating entry for the Laban Dictionary designed by Lenira Rengel. Choreodramaturgy, as a process methodology, was already in gestation at Pega Teatro (1981), a book that marked a whole generation of art educators in Brazil and Latin America. Choreodramaturgy establishes an intimate relationship with reteatralization, a key concept of theatrical revolutions of the 20th century, especially with German expressionism in dance (Ausdruckstanz) and Dance Theater (Tanztheater).
