Corporal Practices and techniques fomenting the presence of disabled artists in the contemporary scene

Abstract

Enlargement access of disability artists to the performing arts can be made possible from the easing of some techniques and practices, as well emergency of practices based on less restrictive assumptions. This article presents a reflection about corporal practices and techniques recognized as somatic that can be present in the creative process in order to promote the presence of artists with disabilities on the stage. In approaching accessibility by the attitudinal aspect, bodily practices are recognized as accessible not only by the flexible modes of movement approaches, but mainly by the proposition of interaction between participants that mobilizes dynamics of privilege and power.
