Corpar, vibrar e instalar: percursos entre composições performativas e neurodiversidade

Abstract

From an imaginary of tour and errantry created by the perspective of Research in Performing Arts, emerges a poetic investigation about corpar, vibrar, and instalar, defined here as movements that occur internally in the creative process being simultaneous, interdependent and, relational. They are perceptible by the materialities, visible, audible, sensitive and palpable elements that are present by the body, its relationship with objects and spatiality. This organization produces performative compositions, experiments based on artistic performance, focused on different ways of perceiving the world. This research-creation structure this thesis created from experiences in theater workshops with people with intellectual disabilities, identified here by the emergent paradigm of neurodiversity. The use of this terminology breaks with models of disorder and pathologization, expanding to the various perceptions that are natural variations within species, a mode of existence outside normal patterns, generator of perceptual and relational particularities. The conceptions proposed in the research are developed by observing of the workshops and performative paths of the researcher, crossing knowledge between Performance Studies, Neurodiversity Studies, about body and philosophical reflections. The goal is to enables new propositions for an accessible theater teaching for people with or without disabilities, and can thus disarticulate systems of domination of bodies, update strategies from the field of Performance to the Pedagogy of the Performing Arts and expand notions about perception of worlds, of lives to be lived, and built in collectivity.
