Flor e Ser: semeando a arte da dança na escola

Abstract

The present master's dissertation was developed together with the Graduate Program in Visual Arts of the Arts Center of the Federal University of Pelotas - UFPel, linked to the research line Education in Arts and Aesthetic Training Processes. The study sought to investigate the possibilities and strategies to make sense of the practices of Teaching Dance at school, considering my experience as an artist, researcher, producer and educator from the analysis of the show “Nordestiando”, developed in 2018 in the discipline of Show Montage, curricular component of the Dance Degree Course at the Federal University of Pelotas. The research had as specific objectives: a) to investigate the teaching and learning processes in Arts with emphasis on Dance; b) recall, describe and report artistic-pedagogical experiences of the dance show “Nordestiando”; c) Develop, from artistic experiences, pedagogical possibilities for Teaching Dance at school for children from 6 to 12 years old. Based on the belief that Dance acts as an integration activity, developing cognitive, affective and behavioral aspects, this artistic, pedagogical and scientific investigation was developed, starting from the analogy between land/spaces, seeds/children, gardener/teacher and the possibilities that Flower and Being allow to root, spread and proliferate Dance in different bodies, thus making it possible to perfume the environments through which they transit. To develop this study, an open methodology was assumed, inspired by life stories, self-training, dance pedagogy and artistic production. As author-guides, the following stand out: Josso (2007), Nóvoa and Finger (2010), Strazzacappa (2012), Marques (1997), Barbosa (2010), Duarte Jr. (2010), among others. Thus, the new discourses that are presented for the Teaching of Dance at school are problematized, as well as the relationships with other areas of knowledge.
