This paper proposes an investigation on the Body-Nature in the artistic-pedagogical processes of dance, referencing the interactions, communication and investigation over the language of nature in its multiple Body-Nature textures and configurations. Hence, the main focus consists in acknowledging, re-interpreting and identifying the human being as a fraction of the natural phenomenons, breaking through metodological pathways for the development of Haptic Education. Touching and to be touched by nature, with a main axis towards tactile perception, is correlated with the studies of the gravitational tissue, in a somatic, ecological and political perspective. Lived experiences, through the interaction of Nature-Body with the textures of nature, are recognized in this paper as levers for the development of abilities belonging to the Haptic sense. In the perspective of a dance, in contact with nature, capable of waking the multisensory perception and proprioceptive intelligence, the studies of the cognitive, biopolitical and somatic processes proposed here has as its main influences the Theory of General Relativity, the multi-referenciality, the Theory of Complexity, the Biocentrism, the Deep Ecology and the Decolonialism, with the ends of reflecting over artistic-pedagogical experiences of dance in natural enviroments. This paper has as its function organizing metodological precedures capable of facilitating and guiding the practitioners in the development of Haptic Education centered around the comprehension of cosmovisions of cultures and in the inherent and intrinsic value of the Territory-Body of every living being. Compilations of experiements on bodies at natural enviroments and textures, the precedures here displayed are organized from the intersection of fisiological, cognitive, and physical principles achieved in ecosomatic and ecoperformative studies focused in the investigation of creative processes aimed at communicating with nature.
