It problematizes theoretical and practical way to make dance history, investigating this possibility through the dance itself. Arises from the fact that the dance has specific characteristics that can not be neglected by the historical account. In this sense, it was initiated by the raising of a theoretical framework that speaks to the indicated issues and unfolds through a field study, which included collecting testimonies from people who participated in the show, documentary research, gathering material traces and finally consists a practical part by transposing elaborated historical knowledge into the body through a creative process, resulting on this moment, in the construction of a duo dance / Esta pesquisa investigou o espet?culo de dan?a Caldo da Cana que estreou em Jo?o Pessoa-PB, em setembro de 1984.

No presente trabalho objetivamos a investigar, a Dan?a na Contemporaneidade, para al?m do que se entende por dan?a contempor?nea, em sua capacidade de atravessar os espa?os de conceitua??o j? estabelecidos, para implicar em uma pluralidade de fazeres. Objetivamos tamb?m pensar a pot?ncia que a Dan?a imprime no corpo do artista criador, pensando tamb?m como este se comporta no espa?o de entre linguagens . A disserta??o que aqui se apresenta encontrou enquanto estrat?gia metodol?gica o recurso da met?fora, partindo das ideias de travessia, cartografia e cidades invis?veis para a constru??o do pensamento sobre o corpo do artista e suas rela??es com as diferentes linguagens art?sticas, tomando por base uma retomada das experi?ncias est?ticas e art?sticas de sua proponente. Dialogando experi?ncias pr?ticas e referenciais te?ricos, inicialmente tratamos da dan?a contempor?nea em seus problemas de classifica??o que apontam para a necessidade de um pensamento contempor?neo em dan?a, que pense as manifesta??es art?sticas em seus pontos convergentes, e n?o nos divergentes que as situam sob diversas nomenclaturas. No cap?tulo seguinte discutimos a possibilidade de contamina??o entre as linguagens art?sticas a partir do pr?prio corpo-artista. Discorremos tamb?m sobre a dan?a enquanto agenciamento e resposta aos impulsos resultantes da rela??o com o espa?o e outros corpos, pensando como o corpo do vivente se organiza nesta rela??o de compartilhamento de experi?ncias. Mostrando uma pot?ncia do corpo artista criador que se dedica ? transvalora??o das fronteiras entre as linguagens para a organiza??o do seu fazer. Por fim, apontamos para a diversidade na metodologia de processos de cria??o que variam de acordo com as possibilidades t?cnicas e necessidades est?ticas de cada artista criador
