THE DANCE OF MATTER: BODY, THING AND IMPROVISATION
Dance. Improvisation. Body. Thing.
This research investigates a state of body when improvising referred to as body-thing. A
three main questions: How to de-spectacularize the body in dance? How to
Decentralize the body in dance? How to objectify? I propose a discussion about the
understanding of the body-thing and its dance as relations between matters, based on Lepecki's
Lepecki's (2010) proposition of an agencying of the body with the thing. A
despetacularization brings reflections about writing and presence (GUMBRECHT, 2010) in
dance, questioning an insignificant dance, and the consideration of improvisation as an experience of language
as a language experience (FOGEL, 2017), also dialoguing with the authors
BARDET (2014) and LOUPPE (2012). Decentralizing invites us to look at the body
body, which is in evidence (SANDER, 2009), from the relationship with the policies
of subjectivation of the body, in the interlocution with Rolnik (2019), and thereby propose a dance
vulnerable. The third part is still under development, and I bring a commentary on
some concepts that I intend to research, to discuss about the term thing and an
agencying of the body with matter.
