FEMINIST AND INVENTIVE PRACTICES IN DANCE TEACHING

Abstract

This article, by investigating the relationships between creation-teaching-learning in dance, proposes a reflection on feminist and inventive practices in the educational context. It arises from the encounter between three artist-teachers, their investigative research practices and the inhabited floor of the classroom of a dance degree course at a public university. The main interlocutors for this writing are the authors Ochy Curiel, bell hooks, Suely Rolnik, Marcia Tiburi and Vírginia Kastrup. The aim is to develop reflective methodological paths, socially engaged and attentive to feminist ethics, based on the plurality of bodies, their different vibrations and forms of connections with the world. Thus, it brings the desire to create stories of revolutions, guerrillas and collective insurgencies from the classroom. It seeks to expand and reconfigure relationships with the body and movement as an exercise in experimentation that demands constant attention, intimacy and otherness.
