Ecrire, danser : prendre corps et langue : étude pour une 'dansité' de l'écriture poétique / Writing, dancing : gathering body : study for a "dansité" of poetry

Godfroy, Alice 27 April 2013 (has links)
Cette étude s’affronte à des poètes qui ne parlent plus spécifiquement de la danse. Elle parcourt les œuvres d’Henri Michaux, de Paul Celan, d’André du Bouchet et de Bernard Noël pour entendre sous le silence thématique de la danse la quête d’une forme de convergence plus élémentaire. D’un pli en deçà des mots qui s’opère à la genèse des gestes expressifs et convie danseurs et poètes à une même expérience du corps interne, de ses sentis infra-motiles et de ses inchoations de mouvement. De là naît un nouvel horizon comparatiste qui rend possible une autre façon de lire la poésie. Car un poème certes ne danse pas, mais il est porté par une certaine dansité qui renvoie au mouvement corporel qui le sous-tend et qui mobilise la motricité du lecteur. Cette trajectoire de l’infra nous déporte aux racines de tout acte créateur et nous permet d’envisager une poétique des arts à partir de l’expérience chorégraphique. Une réévaluation esthétique qui s’ente sur le savoir-sentir du corps dansant et fonde le concept de dansité en lui construisant un abécédaire (ressources motrices communes aux actes de danser et d’écrire) et une grammaire (principaux rythmes qui ressourcent le mouvement). / This study meets poets who don’t properly write about dance. Immersing ourselves in the works of Henri Michaux, Paul Celan, André du Bouchet and Bernard Noël, we try to perceive beneath the thematic silence of dance, the quest for a more elementary form of convergence. This quest is also a confluence out of which expressive gestures are born, before words are formulated; soulful movements which invite dancers and poets to enjoy a common experience of the inner body, its infra-motile stirrings, its inchoate motion. This gives rise to a new comparatist horizon, paving the way for a different experience of reading poetry. For a poem indeed does not dance, but is supported by a certain « dansité » -dancity-, which alludes to the corporeal movement underlying the poem and which appeals to the reader's own motricity. Following this trajectory at the limbo and origin before movement happens, transports us to the root origin of every act of creation, and enables us to envision a poetics for the arts, one which would have the choreographic experience at its core.

No. of bitstreams: 1 119466.pdf: 267238 bytes, checksum: 5358a99cd828b7a71fe574cce08fec11 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-08-21 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The thesis discusses improvisation as a transformative element of the choreographer function, in dance, that reflects on collaborative processes of creation, which implies the participation of everyone involved in the work of composition, and from their artistic skills have a legitimate space for creation. The research develops a theoretical trajectory that crosses different areas, from the philosophy to the study in dance to illustrate and understand the improvisation role on the individual formation, and locate him in the experience space. Thus, it is possible to refer to the theory of "ethics of existence" and "self-care" developed by Michel Foucault, and Danielle Goldman, which suggests the improvisation practice as a practice of freedom. An analysis of the creation process is considered from multiple instances. In order to do that, this study develops a mapping of experiments and devices of procedures and collaborative processes of composition proposed by the vanguards of the 1960s, and the implications in the transformation of the concept of dance. It reflects on the improvisation phenomenon as a dance technique, as a cause of the transformation and strengthening of the collective, and its use in the creation processes with detailed analysis of the improvisation process. The concepts of language, meaning and affect are discussed to chart a course that outlines the thoughts as a choreographer, and where the dramaturgy and the meaning construction in the dance happen, in the processes one performs the choreographer function. Also, one considers in which state the dance presents and affects the imagination as a starting point for the process of invention and assembly. The aim is also to analyze the changes in the concepts of choreography, choreographer and some principles and practices pertaining to the universe composition before the panorama that is configured in the creation. Finally, in the same direction; however, with a perspective turned to the processes of two processes of assembly of Ronda Grupo, it is possible to describe parts of the proceedings of creation techniques, and the work of producing a sense, in the pieces Socorro (2008) and Lugar Nenhum (2010). Therefore, one brings for discussion the Deleuze and Guattarri s concepts of Ritornello and Fabulation as a way of questioning the creative form of improvisation and the creativity movement. / Esta tese discute a improvisação como elemento transformador da função do coreógrafo na dança que reflete em processos colaborativos de criação, que pressupõe a participação de todos os envolvidos no trabalho de composição que a partir de suas competências artísticas tem espaço legítimo para criação. A pesquisa desenvolve uma trajetória teórica que atravessa campos distintos, da filosofia para a pesquisa em dança para ilustrar e compreender o papel da improvisação na formação do sujeito e situá-lo no espaço da experiência. Para isso faz referência à teoria da ética da existência e o cuidado de si elaborados por Michel Foucault, e à Danielle Goldman, que sugere a prática da improvisação como uma prática de liberdade. A análise do processo de criação é considerada a partir de várias instâncias e, para isso, este estudo faz um mapeamento das experiências e dos dispositivos de procedimentos e processos colaborativos de composição propostas pelas vanguardas da década de 60 e suas implicações na transformação da noção de dança. Reflete sobre o fenômeno da improvisação como técnica de dança e como causa da transformação e do fortalecimento dos coletivos e do seu uso nos processos de criação, com a análise detalhada do processo da improvisação. Os conceitos de linguagem , sentido e afecto são discutidos para traçar um percurso que delineia o meu pensamento enquanto coreógrafa e por onde se dá a dramaturgia e a construção de sentido na dança nos processos onde exerço a função de coreógrafa. Além disso, considero em que estado a dança se apresenta a mim e afeta a minha imaginação como ponto de partida para um processo de invenção e de montagem. Busco, ainda, analisar as transformações nos conceitos de coreografia, de coreógrafo e alguns princípios e práticas pertencentes ao universo de composição diante do panorama que se configura na criação. Por fim, nesta mesma direção, porém com uma perspectiva voltada para os processos de duas montagens do Ronda Grupo, descrevo partes dos procedimentos das técnicas de criação e do trabalho de construção de sentido nos espetáculos Socorro (2008) e Lugar nenhum (2010). Para tanto, trago para a discussão os conceitos de Ritornelo e Fabulação de Deleuze e Guatarri como forma de problematizar a forma criativa da improvisação, ou o movimento da criatividade.

Para tanto, estuda duas propostas formativas de corpo-em-arte, Dança Moderna/Martha Graham e o método de trabalho desenvolvido pelo Lume - Núcleo de Pesquisas Interdisciplinares de Teatro da Unicamp. Também identifica e descreve os princípios norteadores destas duas práticas, correlacionando-os para, assim, analisar as possibilidades de semelhanças existentes entre os mesmos. A partir de experiência prática com ambas as técnicas, especulou-se que pudessem existir princípios comuns entre ambas e relações entre os trabalhos técnicos desenvolvidos, apesar dos resultados cênicos serem diferenciados, não se constituindo como objetos de interpretação neste estudo. Desse modo, foi analisada a possibilidade de diálogo existente entre alguns princípios que compõem o fazer prático dessas propostas, tomando como ponto de partida o trabalho de campo realizado com Carlos Simioni, fundador do Lume, e com Nair Moura, professora de dança moderna e discípula de Cecy Frank / Abstract: The present study aims at contributing to the discussion concerning the technical procedures for the formation of the actor-dancer. In order to do that, it analyzes two formative proposals of body-in-art, Modern Dance/Martha Graham and the method of work developed by LUME - Nucleus of Interdisciplinary Research on Theater from Unicamp. It also identifies and describes the principles of these two practices, correlating them for, thus, analyzing the possibilities of similarities between them. From the practical experience with both techniques, it was speculated that there could exist common principles between both and relations between the technical works developed, although the scenic results are different and do not constitute an object of interpretation in this study. This way, it was analyzed the possibility of dialogue between some principles that compose the practical aspect of these proposals, having as a starting point the field work carried out along with Carlos Simioni, founder of LUME, and with Nair Moura, teacher of modern dance and Cecy Frank's disciple / Mestrado / Artes / Mestre em Artes

Our interest is in the historic aspects as well as in the artistic and pedagogical ones. We present the enfoldments of her work in the introduction and development of modern dance in Brazil. Duschenes worked in São Paulo from decades of 1940 to 1990 and had an important role in the reception, introduction and development of the labanian´s and dalcrozean´s proposals in Brazil. Despite its great importance, her intellectual, artistic, pedagogical, political and social work has been little explored in the academic field. Duschenes wove webs of knowledge evolving important names of the artistic european avant guard: in Budapest, she studied at Olga Szentpal`s school (1895-1968) in Jaques Dalcroze’s perspective (1865- 1950) and with Aurel von Millos (1906-1988), both crossed by labanians´s knowledge; in England, with Rudolf Laban (1879-1958) and his collaborators and partners Kurt Jooss (1901-1979), Sigurd Leeder (1902-1981) and Lisa Ullmann (1907-1985). Drawn in these universes, Duschenes developed as an axis of her work the improvisation of the movement aiding with transformations in the artistic scene, in pedagogy, in research, in therapy and in rehabilitation. For that purpose this is a work of qualitative and exploratory nature, which includes field research as well as documental research. It has being built with the objective of tracing the vestiges left by Duschenes as well as the vestiges and memories of her former students and her collaborators, through the means of interviews, conversations and classes as well as video, essays and documents analyses. This research begins weaving the paths that have subsidized her formation, making its way towards the bases and propositions which have composed her trajectory of work, from the decades of 1940 to 90. In sum, this study understands that the continuity, the potentiality and the unfolding of the unique manner of her work in Brazil is constituted by overlaying of diversified performing levels, which are composed by the intensities of her own presence in her life and art performances. / Essa pesquisa nasceu do interesse de estudar a trajetória da dançarina e professora, diretora e coreógrafa húngara, naturalizada brasileira, Maria Duschenes (1922-2014) nos aspectos histórico, artístico e pedagógico apresentando os desdobramentos de seu trabalho na introdução e desenvolvimento da dança moderna no Brasil. Duschenes atuou, em São Paulo, entre as décadas de 1940 e 90, tendo um importante papel na recepção, introdução e desenvolvimento das propostas labanianas e dalcrozeanas no Brasil. Apesar da importância ímpar, seu trabalho intelectual, artístico, pedagógico, político e social foi pouco explorado no meio acadêmico. Duschenes teceu teias de conhecimento que envolvem nomes relevantes da vanguarda artística europeia: em Budapeste, estudou na escola de Olga Szentpál (1895-1968), na perspectiva de Jaques Dalcroze (1865-1950) e com Aurel von Milloss (1906-1988), ambos atravessados por conhecimentos labanianos; e na Inglaterra, com Rudolf Laban (1879-1958) e seus colaboradores e parceiros, Kurt Jooss (1901-1979), Sigurd Leeder (1902-1981) e Lisa Ullmann (1907-1985). Desse mergulho formativo Duschenes desenvolveu como eixo de seu trabalho a improvisação de movimento, colaborando com transformações na arte, pedagogia, pesquisa, terapia e reabilitação. Esse é um trabalho de natureza qualitativa e explorativa, que envolve pesquisa documental e de campo, trilhando indícios e memórias deixados por ela e por suas/seus importantes alunas(os) e colaboradoras(es) em entrevistas, conversas, aulas, análises de vídeos, artigos e documentos. Essa pesquisa aborda o cenário histórico, cultural e artístico que teceu seus caminhos de formação e atuação, em especial, as espacialidades construídas em sua casa/estúdio e as propostas pedagógicas e artísticas desenvolvidas entre as décadas de 1940 e 90. Esse estudo compreende que a continuidade, potencialidade e o desdobramento, de forma singular de seu trabalho, no Brasil, se constituiu pela sobreposição de camadas diversificadas compostas pela intensidade de sua presença nas performances de vida e arte.

KinAesthetic Movement Interaction : Designing for the Pleasure of Motion

Moen, Jin January 2006 (has links)
This thesis aims at identifying and exploring properties and design aspects of human movement when used as interaction modality between people and technology. The work has been carried out with a multidisciplinary approach and combines theories, methods and practices from various areas such as modern dance, pedagogy, behavioural science, human computer interaction and research through design. The research question asked in this work is: Which communicative aspects and properties of human full-body movement are important when designing for movement-based interaction, and how could such design be accomplished? This question has been dealt with through carrying out an explorative study of people experiencing dance-based human movement. The informants used were participants on a dance course called Physical Expression. On the basis of this study the following aspects of human movement were identified and discussed: Movement imitation, Movement generation, Natural movements, The meaning of movement, Personal space, Self-confidence, and Movement literacy. These notions were further explored, in relation to movement-based interaction design, through the design and implementation of an interaction concept and a research prototype called BodyBug. BodyBug can be described as an artefact that initiates and maintains bodily movements through its need to be fed with movement input. It gives the users a possibility to create and explore three-dimensional movements within a personal interaction space, both individually and in groups. BodyBug is a small device but does not necessary create small-scale interaction and movements The main findings from this research can be summarised in four theoretical notions that are related to human movement as a dynamic and communicative process: Movement Literacy, Personal Interaction Space, Imitate-React-Express and Social Acceptability. These notions reflect aspects of human movement such as the ability to verbalise, describe, sense and express intentions through human movement; the physical and emotional space we create when moving; the naturalness and understanding of movement; and finally, the social impact of movement. The design and implementation process of the interaction concept exemplifies how we can apply knowledge and physical experiences of human movement in concrete design for movement-based interaction. The design process of BodyBug is therefore described as a holistic design process. It also argues for the importance of, and need for, multidisciplinary competencies and contributions throughout the whole design process. This work has shown that making use of movement as interaction modality means to provide possibilities for getting to know one’s own movement pattern and thus utilising the kinaesthetic sense and kinaesthetic awareness. However, since movement-based interaction is still in its early phase, we need more experiences and physical examples of this kind of interaction in order to develop an increased knowledge of human movement as design material. We also need to further investigate how movement-based interaction is experienced, and to continue the search for the essence and physical grounding of human movement in relation to technology and computational artefacts. Some of the biggest challenges are to design for movement-based interaction without loosing the aspects of individual preferences and differences in movement, and to preserve the spontaneity and ambiguity in human movement. As shown in this thesis, one approach to deal with these issues is to design for the pleasure of motion. / <p>QC 20100913</p>

Min avslöjade kropp visar min bara själ : Adorée Villanys dansturné i Sverige 1914–1920 / My Unveiled Body Reveals my Soul : Adorée Villany's Dance Tour in Sweden 1914-1920

Sandström, Kajsa January 2021 (has links)
In this master’s thesis, the dance artist Adorée Villany's hitherto unexplored performances in Sweden 1914–1920 have been reconstructed and interpreted. Villanys naked dance aroused both interest and a lively debate in the Swedish press. She labelled her art “Reform Dance” and thus formed a part of the emerging modern dance movement. By moving beyond the morality debate surrounding her performances, visual and performative aspects of her dances and photographs are made visible.    In her art, Villany strived to bring dance forms from ancient culture to life. Her embodiment of images from ancient Egypt can be understood employing Warburg's concepts Pathosformula and Nachleben, explaining how art works through artistic imagery and form can resurrect emotions from another time. Villany's dance piece Salome’s dance has been reconstructed and analysed through a joint reading of the source materials film, texts and photographs. Here, Warburg's concept of Denkraum was proven productive as a theory and method.

Danser avec Samuel Beckett / Dancing with Samuel Beckett

Clavier, Évelyne 05 July 2018 (has links)
Ce travail de recherche se propose d’analyser le rapport de Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) à la danse ainsi que la relation de deux chorégraphes contemporains Dominique Dupuy (1930-) et Maguy Marin (1951-) à ses œuvres. La première partie démontre que Samuel Beckett a été influencé par la danse moderne qu’il a découverte dans l’entre-deux-guerres. Son écriture est devenue plus gestuelle et son propos plus politique. Ainsi, aux corps sains et glorieux promus par les arts nazis, oppose-t-il dans son premier théâtre les corps vulnérables travaillés par la vieillesse et les handicaps, ceux d’hommes que le IIIe Reich a voulu rendre superflus. En 1953, la danse de Lucky d’En attendant Godot est un moyen de dire l’innommable de cette violence. En 1981, la danse de Quad fait resurgir les fantômes du passé pour prévenir le retour du pire. Comment le dire ? La danse, un art du « non mot » participe à cette recherche qui traverse l’œuvre de Samuel Beckett. Ce dont on ne peut pas parler, c’est cela qu’il faut danser. Dans un deuxième temps, cette étude montre comment les œuvres de Samuel Beckett sont à leur tour inductrices de danses où les êtres vulnérables résistent et appellent au care. Danser avec Oh les beaux jours, Acte sans paroles et Cap au pire permet à Dominique Dupuy d’interroger les possibles du grand âge et d’en transformer les représentations. A partir de Fin de partie, Maguy Marin écrit en 1981 May B, une pièce chorégraphique, aux antipodes de la danse performante, qui rend visibles les handicaps. Son œuvre invite à une lecture actualisante de l’œuvre de Samuel Beckett prenant en considération la condition des personnes handicapées et permettant d’entrevoir la possibilité d’une société plus inclusive. La dernière partie témoigne qu’une lecture éthique des œuvres de Samuel Beckett et de leurs projections chorégraphiques peut devenir le vecteur de pratiques d’inclusion et d’émancipation par l’école. Telle est la vocation du projet Meeting Beckett mené en 2016-2017 en partenariat avec le chorégraphe K Goldstein, avec les élèves en situation de handicap d’un dispositif Ulis (Unité localisée pour l’inclusion scolaire) et ceux d’une classe de 5ème. Il s’agit enfin de se demander dans quelle mesure les pratiques artistiques peuvent susciter de nouveaux gestes professionnels à l’école et initier une dynamique inclusive, capable de faire une place à chacun et chacune au sein de la société. / This research analyses the relationship of Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) to dance and the relationship of two contemporary choreographers Dominique Dupuy (1930-) and Maguy Marin (1951-) to his works. The first part shows that Samuel Beckett was influenced by the modern dance he discovered between the two World Wars. His writing became more gestural and his discourse more political. Thus, to the healthy and glorious bodies promoted by the Nazi arts, he opposed in his first theatre the vulnerable bodies weakened by old age and disabilities, those of men whom the Third Reich wanted to make superfluous. In 1953, Lucky's dance in Waiting for Godot is a way of telling the unnamable of this violence. In 1981, the dance of Quad brings back the ghosts of the past to prevent the return of the worst. How to say? Dance, an art of the "non word", is part of this research that runs through Samuel Beckett's work. What one can't talk about is what one has to dance about. Secondly, this study shows how Samuel Beckett's works induce dances in which vulnerable beings resist and call for care. Dancing with Happy days, Act Without Words I and Worstward Ho allows Dominique Dupuy to question the possibilities of old age and transform its representations. Starting with Endgame, Maguy Marin wrote May B in 1981, a choreography miles apart from high-performance dance, which makes disabilities visible. Her work offers an updated reading of Samuel Beckett's work that takes into consideration the condition of disabled persons and allows us to envision the possibility of a more inclusive society. The last part shows that an ethical reading of Samuel Beckett's works and their choreographic projections can become the vector of inclusion practices and emancipation at school. This is the vocation of the Meeting Beckett project conducted in 2016-2017 in partnership with choreographer K Goldstein, with disabled pupils from an Ulis (Unité localisée pour l'inclusion scolaire) and 5th graders. Finally, we need to ask ourselves to what extent artistic practices can encourage new professional gestures at school and initiate an inclusive dynamic, capable of giving a place for everyone in society.

Between Precarity and Vitality: Downtown Dance in the 1990s

Wanner, Buck January 2021 (has links)
This dissertation examines experimental dance in New York City in the 1990s. Earlier periods of American concert dance have received significant scholarly attention to the historical, political, and aesthetic aspects of dance practice. Moreover, certain periods of modern dance — especially the 1930s and the 1960s — have been analyzed as moments of significant change, and the artists that emerged from the Judson Dance Theater in particular have held a significant place in the theorizing and historicizing of dance in the United States. However, experimental dance practices of the early 21st century demonstrate dramatically different aesthetics, approaches, and circumstances of production than those of earlier periods, including their Judson forebears. This project argues for understanding the 1990s as a period of significant change for dance, one with continuing resonance for the decades that follow.This project uses the term "downtown dance" to situate experimental dance in New York City as a community of practitioners, rather than as a particular set of aesthetic or artistic practices. Each of the four chapters focuses on an aspect in this period that would define how dance looked, how dancers practiced, and what shaped the artistic values and priorities of this community. The first chapter presents a history of the dance-service organization Movement Research. Tracing the history of the organization from its founding in 1978 through the establishment of its most influential programs in the 1990s — including the Movement Research Performance Journal and the performance series Movement Research at the Judson Church — the chapter locates Movement Research as a central entity in building the community and shaping theaesthetics of downtown dance. The second chapter examines the effects of the AIDS crisis on dance in the 1990s. As AIDS entered its second decade, it collided with and magnified downtown dance's complex relationship with emotion. This chapter draws on scholarship of AIDS' relationship to visual art, theater, and activism, as well as close readings of several works — by artists including Donna Uchizono, Neil Greenberg, John Jasperse, RoseAnne Spradlin, Jennifer Monson, and DD Dorvillier — most not generally understood as "AIDS dances," to argue that AIDS' impact generated a fundamental shift in the role of emotion in downtown dance. The third chapter examines how shifts in arts funding in the 1990s connected to a major restructuring in production models for dance. This chapter connects the history of the modern dance company with both aesthetic and economic developments over the course of the 20th century, arguing that the company should be understood as a combined economic-aesthetic system. Furthermore, the chapter demonstrates the new model for dance production that began to take hold in the 1990s in the wake of widespread funding and economic shifts: the project model. Teasing out the complex web of funding for dance, this chapter makes extensive use of dance periodicals; several funding trend analyses from organizations including Dance/USA, National Endowment for the Arts, Dance/NYC, and private corporate and foundation reports; and the archives of the presenting institution Danspace Project. The final chapter looks at how the shifts in economic models for dance discussed in the previous chapter connected to changes in training and bodily technique of dancers and performers. Specifically investigating the history of "release technique," this chapter examines how attitudes toward technique and training in downtown dance in the 1990s shifted the connection between movement practices and creative output, reconceiving the role of the dancer in the dancer-choreographer relationship.
