SUMMARY:

This study presents the history of the North American dancer Isadora Duncan, a
precursor of modern dance. It is a narrative about her origins and the pathways that
made possible for her to create a dance style that is connected with the elements of
nature, Greek mythology and the Renaissance. The creation of this new way of thinking
about dance made it detached from the formal aesthetics of classical ballet and
advocates the idea of the solar plexus as the place from which all dance movements
come from. Since Isadora’s tour of Brazil in 1916, where she performed in the cities of
Rio do Janeiro, São Paulo and in Salvador at Teatro São João, her creative flow has
influenced artistic processes and pedagogical actions implemented by the Escola
Contemporânea de Dança. These experiences establish possible dialogues with
thinkers who also connect with the elements presented in this research, such as Jorge
Larossa, Paulo Freire, Helena Katz and Christine Greiner, Ailton Krenak and Susan
Foster and contribute to the understanding of dance. The expressive nature of Duncan
lines and their connection to mind, spirit and movement manifest the creation of the
term CORPODUNCAN. These continuous exchanges of knowledge are opposed to
Cartesian dualisms, the binary structures that fragment the body and try to separate it.
In this way, CORPODUNCAN intuits the symbiosis of body, culture and environment
in dialogue with the “Corpomedia theory” to help understand this concept. It is a
testament to how the aforementioned dancer's body caused a change of paradigms,
crossed the century and still represents an emblem of emancipatory achievements and
aspirations, constituting one of the representative ideals of female freedom, so
necessary in these contemporary times.
