This paper discusses a field of investigation around the link between monstrosities, body and creation in dance. It begins with the delimitation of the concept of monster, used in this work, and with the exposure of some of the discomforts collectively experienced in the body~subjective experience nowadays. Next, the path of monstrosity history is traced, explaining how the monster, historically strange, has become familiar throughout the 20th century. Finally, the approach of the monster to the unfamiliar, the unsettling, is discussed as a strategy of creation in dance, based on the report of three compositional processes.
