Collective choreoagraphies for non-existent groups: structural characteristics and diffusion procedures
Contemporary Dance, Choreography, Guided-By-Practice-Research, Shared Community.
This research aims to investigate choreographic projects created to be executed by non-stable groups. Thus it sheds a light on two central aspects: the choreography's structural characteristics and the procedures and strategies used by the choreographers intending to spread the proposed works. The context in which this research is developed, marked by the current phase of capitalism, characterized by flexible work and by projects, agrees with a rising number of artists of the Contemporary Dance proposing compositions of this nature, in a way that this format has consolidated as an important trace of the current production. Central concepts such as Choreography and Contemporary Dance are revisited from the idea of Shared Community proposed by me and derivative of the concept Reflexive Community LASH (1997). As sampling, the research dwells on brasilian artists production and verticalizes on my own choreographic production, having the notion of choreographic experience of the author as a privileged environment of observation. Therefore, it maintains a dialogue with eminently qualitative methodological issues such as the use of practice, experience, and it utilises the resource of writing in the first person as an important tactic.
