Abstract

The present article introduces the Choreological Studies as praxis that, when (a)prehended by the dancer/actor/performer, allows the development of a mastery of movement, empowering him or herself of its creative power in dance making. When embodied, Choreology activates a process of thinking through movement, a type of thinking that I advocate as dramaturgical. To experiment the dramaturgy that emerges from the thinking that happens through movement, we worked with a painting from Wassily Kandinsky as a map of intensities, shapes, dynamics and spatialities that guided the creation of the performers. The resulting creative process of this experimentation revealed an affective dramaturgy, done by the interpreters-creators of the work who, together, organised the affects – individual and collective – in the space-time of the scene.
