Proponho uma reflexão sobre a prática coreográfica em dança com uma comunidade específica: os alunos do Ensino Médio do Colégio Estadual Júlio de Castilhos, de Porto Alegre – RS. Investigando um contexto institucional, público e de ensino, meu objeto de estudo centra-se no corpo como inscrição social e dançante, articulando procedimentos coreográficos com grandes grupos. Busco compreender a coreografia, sobretudo, como ato político e como teorização de identidade – corporal, individual e social (FOSTER, 2011) –, além de compreendê-la como possível catalisador na proposta de indicar o corpo social como corpo dançante, e vice-versa. Para este projeto prático, escolho procedimentos ligados às danças urbanas, e especialmente a Hip Hop Dance, mantendo como principais referências estudos nacionais, Rodrigues (2006), Ribeiro e Cardoso (2011), e estudos estrangeiros, Faure Marie-Carmen Garcia (2002, 2003, 2005). Aspectos da etnografia, como o recurso fotográfico, são pensados como método de observação sobre o corpo e o gesto dos alunos, tendo como suportes os conceitos de capital, habitus e campo (BOURDIEU, 1994). A transposição de conceitos sociológicos para o âmbito da dança contemporânea é experimentada a fim de alimentar as reflexões que compreendem o corpo e suas relações sociais de poder e pertencimentos. Como referência disso, aponto autores como Sylvia Faure (2001), Helen Thomas (2003), Pierre-Emmanuel Sorignet (2004) e Suzane Weber da Silva (2010). Como método de pesquisa, opto pela teoria enraizada (STRAUSS; CORBIN, 1990; PAILLÉ 1994). Os resultados desse processo conduziram uma criação coreográfica em larga escala com um grupo de jovens do Colégio, acompanhada por esse memorial reflexivo-crítico de criação. / I propose a reflection about the choreographic practice in dance with a specific community: the secondary school students from Colégio Estadual Júlio de Castilhos, Porto Alegre – RS. Investigating an institutional, public and scholar context, my study object focuses on the body as social and dancing inscription, studying and articulating choreographic procedures with large groups. I try to understand the choreography especially as a political act and as theorization of identity - corporeal, individual, and social (FOSTER, 2011), as well as understand it as a possible catalyst in the proposal for imagine the social body as dancing body, and vice versa. For this practical project, I choose procedures related to urban dances, and especially the Hip Hop Dance by keeping as main references national studies, Rodrigues (2006), Ribeiro and Cardoso (2011), and foreign studies, Faure Marie-Carmen Garcia (2002, 2003, 2005). Ethnographic aspects, as the photographic resource, are thought of as observation method over the body and gesture of the students, taking as supports the concepts of capital, habitus and field (Bourdieu, 1994). The transposition of sociological concepts to the field of contemporary dance has been tried to feed the reflections that understand the body and its social power relations and belongings. I point out as reference authors like Sylvia Faure (2001), Helen Thomas (2003), Pierre-Emmanuel Sorignet (2004) and Suzane Weber da Silva (2010). As a research method I choose the grounded theory (STRAUSS; CORBIN, 1990; PAILLÉ 1994). The results of this process have led a choreographic creation on a large scale with a group of young students of the College, accompanied by this reflective-critical memorial of creation.

viii, 77 p. : ill. / The focus of this study was a free site-specific dance and music performance for the general public in Alton Baker Park (Eugene, Oregon), designed to enhance public engagement with the park and with dance. Collaborative processes with participating dancers, composers, and musicians fostered community building between the artists. Informing literature covers the impact of site-specific dance performances on communities, choreographic methodology, the history of site-specific artwork, the impact on, and consideration of, the audience in site-specific projects, and collaboration in the arts. Consideration of the surrounding community and the inherent political nature of site-specific work directly influenced every decision throughout the process. Themes emerged from the focus on building community, engaging the patrons with the site, and investigating process. Themes include the Culminating Performance, Common Values, Collaboration, Audience, Process, Journaling and Research, and a Final Summary. Reflection on the process reveals insights and suggestions for future endeavors. / Committee in charge: Dr. Jenifer P. Craig, Chairperson; Christian Cherry, Member; Walter Kennedy, Member

Wim Vandekeybus est l'un des chorégraphes majeurs de la nouvelle danse belge. Nous proposons à travers cette étude d'analyser son Œuvre sous l'angle de la démesure. Nous nous sommes attachés à un corpus limité d'œuvres appartenant à son travail chorégraphique et cinématographique. La fougue chorégraphique de ses débuts transparaît-elle toujours dans ses pièces les plus récentes comme Blush ou Sonic Boom, où la place de la narration est réévaluée ? Tout d’abord, nous nous sommes focalisés sur la violence du propos chorégraphique. Une temporalité de l’urgence ordonne les actions des interprètes. Les rapports humains sont eux-aussi emprunts d’une certaine tension, notamment les rapports hommes/femmes. Puis, nous nous sommes penchés sur les obsessions du chorégraphe, à la recherche d’un corps au comportement instinctif. La mise en scène d’un corps exacerbé, poussé jusque dans ses retranchements prédomine. Outre une recherche chorégraphique, Wim Vandekeybus s’intéresse à la création d’une image scénique, obtenue par les éclairages ou l’intrusion d’un écran de projection cinématographique. Au contact du médium audiovisuel le corps se déchaine et atteint un état dionysiaque. Le corps filmé dans Blush détient la même force, la même énergie excessive, qui caractérise sa scène. Enfin, la réintroduction du verbe, par les diverses collaborations avec des auteurs contemporains, comme Peter Verhelst, P. F. Thomèse ou Jan Decorte exacerbe les passions et ne conduit point à un assagissement du corps, ni même du propos chorégraphique. / Wim Vandekeybus is one of the most important choreographers to the new belgian wave. The purpose of our study it’s to analyze its work in terms of the excess. We study a restraint corpus of works belonging to his choreography and film work. The choreographer ardor of his debut reflected still in its most recent performances such as Blush or Sonic Boom, where the place of the narration is re-evaluated? First of all, we make a focus on the choreographic language’s violence. An emergency’s temporality ordered the performer’s actions. The human relationships are too concerned by this tension, like the relationships between male and female. Then, we take attention to choreographic’s obsession, who research an instinctive behavior. The staging of an exacerbated body pushed into his boundary predominates. Apart from a choreographic research, Wim Vandekeybus is interested in the creation of a stage image, obtained by light creation or introduction of a screen. Confronted to the cinematographic image the body blows up and reaches a Dionysian state. The image of the body in Blush, the movie has the same strength, the same excessive energy, which distinguish his stage. Finally the re-introduction of the narration, by collaborations with contemporary authors, such as Peter Verhelst, P. F. Thomèse or Jan Decorte exacerbates the passions and not achieves to a quiet body.

A coreografia procura apresentar a síntese de diversos trabalhos técnicos e de criação em dança e teatro, vivenciados ,desde o início da carreira artística. Na busca por uma linguagem corporal ou uma poética própria na dança, ao transcorrer por criações anteriores, analisei e descrevi também suas personagens baseadas em referências femininas diversificadas, e observei ainda as técnicas codificadas e formas pré-concebidas contidas em cada criação. Tais personagens femininas, juntamente com a nova personagem desta coreografia proposta são resultado de minha busca por uma linguagem pessoal. Assim, esta nova personagem é a metáfora de minha Escuta, ou seja, de uma referência feminina própria. / Abstract: This study presents a description and analysis of a choreographic creation process intitled "À Escuta do Mar" (Waiting to Hear the Sea...). The study is based on elements of the feminine universe poetry, which is the central subject of my criations. The choreographic part aims to present a synthesis of many technical and inventive works in dance and theater of my artistic carrer. While revisiting my old creations in a search for a poetical corporal language or a particular poetry in dance I had analyzed and described the characters based on different feminine references, and also had observed the codified techniques and preconceived gestures used in each creation. Those feminine characters together with the character of this new choreographic proposal are results of a search for my own personal artistic language. Thus, this new character is a metaphor of my "hearing", that is, of a particular feminine reference. / Mestrado / Mestre em Artes

Os participantes da cadeia produtiva podem trabalhar de forma integrada, com o objetivo de otimizar o desempenho coletivo, aumentando sua competitividade comercial. Do ponto de vista tecnológico, a natureza distribuída, autônoma e heterogênea dos participantes da cadeia produtiva dificultam a automação dos seus processos de negócio interorganizacionais. Este trabalho propõe uma infra-estrutura baseada em coreografias de serviços Web para coordenar as atividades que compõem os processos de negócio interorganizacionais das cadeias produtivas. Esta infra-estrutura implementa um modelo de coordenação que visa facilitar o projeto e a implantação dos processos de negócio interorganizacionais. Neste modelo, os processos são representados por coreografias WS-CDL, que são mapeadas para planos de coordenação executáveis descritos em BPEL. O trabalho também apresenta um protótipo da infra-estrutura, com o objetivo de validá-la / Abstract: A supply chain is the set of activities involved in the creation, transformation and distribution of a product, from raw material to the consumer. Supply chain's participants can work in an integrated way to optimize their performance and increase their commercial competitiveness. From the technological point of view, the distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous nature of supply chain's participants raises di±culties when we consider the automation of interorganizational processes. This work proposes an infrastructure based on Web services choreographies for coordination of the activities that compose the interorganizational business processes of the supply chains. This infrastructure implements a coordination model that aims to make easier the design and the deployment of the interorganizational business processes. In this model, processes are represented by WS-CDL choreographies, which are mapped to executable BPEL coordination plans. The work also presents a prototype of the infrastructure to validate it / Mestrado / Sistemas Distribuidos / Mestre em Ciência da Computação

Na escola de samba os espaços entre componente, família, comunidade, cultura, arte, festa e cena são muito tênues. Desta maneira, optou-se por abarcar este trabalho por meio dos Estudos da Performance, território conceitual multidisciplinar, onde, neste caso, os relevos da antropologia e artes cênicas se destacam. As encenações criadas, pela autora, para a Comissão de Frente da Associação Cultural e Social Escola de Samba Mocidade Camisa Verde e Branco, durante onze carnavais, configuram-se como o mote para a discussão destes processos. Assim, as próprias encenações podem ser consideradas como uma espécie de resultado: a cena. Todavia, o trabalho aponta para as possibilidades de pensar questões como tratamento do tempo/espaço e qualidade de " presença " e, consequentemente, " co-presença " a partir das relações que este tipo de criação, cênico carnavalesca, estabelece / Abstract: This study investigates the approaches, dialogues and estrangements that are established between the processes of creation in the scene arts and the processes of creation in the samba school parades. In samba schools the spaces between members, family, community, culture, art, party and scene are very thin. Thus, we chose to cover this work through the Performance Studies, a multidisciplinary conceptual territory, and, in this case, the relief of the anthropology and the performing arts stand out. The created staging, by the author, to the Front Commission of Cultural and Social Association Samba School "Mocidade Camisa Verde e Branco", for eleven carnivals, appears as the theme for the discussion of these processes. Thus, the stagings themselves can be considered as a kind of result: the scene. However, the work points to possibilities of thinking about issues such as the treatment of time/space and quality of "presence" and therefore "co-presence" from the relations that these types de creation, scenic and carnival, provide / Doutorado / Artes Cenicas / Doutor em Artes

Dès les années 2000 à aujourd’hui, la présence est au coeur d’un nouvel intérêt théorique.Cette thèse porte sur les recherches en arts vivants et sur des créations récentes à lalumière des enjeux corporels, perceptifs et théoriques résonnant avec ce concept. Lesdéfinitions courantes sont relues et intégrées, dans une approche phénoménologique, parl’analyse du geste dansé, l’épistémologie des pratiques somatiques, l’écologie despratiques (Stengers 2005) et une pensée politique sur les affects (Massumi 1995 ; 2015).Dans la première partie on articule cette approche en fonction d’un regard critique sur lesdiscours théoriques, qu’on met en dialogue avec notre corpus d’oeuvres théâtrales etchorégraphiques. Ici on considère, parmi d’autres pièces, Il principe Amleto du metteur enscène et comédien italien Danio Manfredini. La seconde partie rassemble les analysesd’Ouverture Alcina, monologue de la Compagnie italienne Teatro delle Albe ; de récentescréations chorégraphiques de Virgilio Sieni ; de la pièce Déperdition, crée par MyriamGourfink et d’une reprise de Self Unfinished de Xavier Le Roy dans le cadre du projet« Rétrospective ». Chaque analyse porte sur le travail physique et perceptif de l’interprète,en considérant les processus de création et d’apprentissage, et sur le rapport entre oeuvreet milieu de production et de circulation. Ainsi, l’expérience personnelle de spectatricechercheuseet la centralité du regard se mettent en avant. Il en résulte une perspectiveépistémologique sur les pratiques de la présence, entendues comme pratiquesperformatives, et sur les figurations de la présence, à savoir les effets perceptifs etaffectifs de la performance. / Since the early 2000s, the concept of presence is at the core of a renewed interest in theperforming arts field. This dissertation reviews recent theoretical debates and explorestheatrical and choreographic works resonating with the corporeal and aesthetic qualitiesassociated with this notion. Within a phenomenological framework, current definitions arereconsidered through the lenses of dance gesture analysis, expanding on theepistemology of somatic practices, the ecology of practices (Stengers 2005), and politicalfocus on affects (Massumi 1995; 2015). The academic discourses are also examinedthrough a brief outlook of the works, including Il Principe Amleto – a piece by Italian actorand stage director Danio Manfredini. The pieces considered in the second part of thedissertation include Ouverture Alcina, a monologue by the Italian theatre company Teatrodelle Albe; recent projects by Italian choreographer Virgilio Sieni; a dance performanceentitled Déperdition, by French artist Myriam Gourfink; and a recent rerun of Xavier LeRoy’s Self Unfinished within his project « Rétrospective ». Each analysis emphasizes thephysical and perceptive work of the performers and considers the artist’s creative process,as well as the relation between the pieces and their broader staging context. In addition,the personal experience of the scholar/spectator is given prominence, as well as of hergaze. The resulting investigation is thus fundamentally epistemological, focusing at onceon practices of presence – understood as performative in nature –, and on figurations ofpresence, the perceptive and affective implications of performance.

This mini-thesis is located in historical discursive practices, choreographing history, biography as a source for making dance in South Africa and choreographic transformations in South African choreography since the 1994 democratic elections. Derridian concepts of deconstruction will be referenced in an attempt to focus the argument of this research, which comments on choreographic transformations since 1994, by subverting the influence of the 'violent hierarchies' enforced by the apartheid regime on South African cultural life and choreographic identity. The researcher draws on these considerations in order to explore the hybrid nature of South African choreography that has emerged since 1994. Chapter one examines the fallacious nature of historical discourse through a consideration and application of Derrida's notions of deconstruction and fabrication. Chapter two explores the notion of choreographing history in theatre through a focus on the objective/subjective fallacy and the history of the body as a textual medium. Chapter three focuses the study specifically in biography as a discourse within the idea of theatre. This approach to biography can be encapsulated by the phrase 'telling lives'. This chapter also explores the relationship between the traditional binaries of writing as a purely cerebral act and choreography as a purely visceral experience. Chapter four brings the focus to the specific post-apartheid South African context. This chapter considers the hybrid forms of dance emerging in South Africa as well as the notion of protest in relation to theatre and dance. The final chapter is an investigation and analysis of two choreographic works created by South African choreographers since 1994 in relation to biography and concepts of deconstruction. These works are Gary Gordon's Bessie's Head (2000) and Gregory Maqoma's Miss Thandi (2002). The focus of the analysis also reveals the inherent difficulty in objective interpretation, and considers the problematics of collaboration and autobiography when choreographing within a biographical context.

In the years following the fall of Apartheid in South Africa, dance and choreography have undergone considerable transformation. This investigation stems from one observation relative to this change that has been articulated by two of South Africa's most respected dance critics, Adrienne Sichel and Matthew Krouse. Both critics have noted a growing concern for narrative in South African contemporary choreography, coupled with an apparent propensity for narratives of a distinctly personal and 'autobiographical' nature. In Part One: 'Just after the beginning', the proposed preoccupation with narrative in South African contemporary choreography is discussed in light of the relationship between narrative and the notion of personal identity. The use of the performed narrative as a medium to explore questions about identity is offered as one explanation underpinning this increased proclivity, where the interrogation of the form of the danced narrative provides a site for exploration of personal identity. Part Two: 'Somewhere in the middle' interrogates the notion of form through an in-depth discussion of the experimentation with form within theatrical and antitheatrical dance traditions over the last fifty years. Specific works by three selected South African choreographers (Ginslov, Maqoma and Sabbagha) are discussed in terms of their general approach to narrative form. This provides an illustration of some of the approaches to narrative form emergent in contemporary South African choreographic practices. Part Three: 'Nearing the end' offers Acty Tang's Chaste (2007) as a case study to illustrate the practical application of the dance narrative as a means to interrogate questions relating to personal identity. A detailed analysis of Tang's particular approach to forming the narrative of Chaste is conducted, exposing the intertextual, multimedia and multidisciplinary approach to creating the danced narrative.
