SUMMARY:

The Baobab movement presented in this thesis is composed of a root, which grows in a soil, trunk and ramifications, the root being the matriarch Germaine Acogny, African dancer and founder of École des Sables. This investigation was born in order to reforest thought and imagination, through an Afro-referenced dance. The methodological path in this research is anchored by the idea of participatory methodology, approached by Paulo Freire and Carlos Brandão, who portray the need to create an alternative research method, learning to do it better through action, in the dialectical relationship between objectivity and subjectivity. The research crosses the theoretical field and crosses the Continent reaching Africa for the field phase. Between epistemology and practice it was 11 years. As a result of this period of intense experience with the universe of African dance and the technique of Germaine Acogny, it was possible to build together with the artist who reveals herself through the translation into Portuguese of her classic work Danse Africaine, originally published in 1994, in French, German and English. The translation of this work as a result of this research makes knowledge about African dance accessible. The research made objective and subjective connections, especially when it crosses the experiences in this universe of investigation with issues related to epistemological racism and whiteness. In the field of Performing Arts, notably dance, this thesis contributes towards making epistemologies that were once invisible accessible.
