Acreditando... É possível: Três meses de viagem

Fiz o meu estágio curricular na companhia Trigo Limpo Teatro ACERT, em Tondela. Uma companhia com uma essência e um carisma singulares e especiais. Estive lá três meses (de março a maio). Tive oportunidade de acompanhar inúmeras actividades e participar em vários projectos, em vez de (como na maioria dos estágios desta natureza) integrar exclusivamente um processo de criação artística. Procurando facilitar a organização e compreensão do meu percurso na ACERT, defini três fases do meu estágio: a fase de conhecimento e entrosamento na companhia; a Queima e Rebentamento do Judas; a Fantástica Aventura duma Criança chamada Pinóquio. Foi desta estrutura que parti para passar para palavras o que experienciei e cresci na ACERT, não só como actriz, mas como pessoa. Num registo pessoal, descrevo no relatório de estágio os momentos mais relevantes de todo o processo, o que aprendi com os mesmos e o que mudou em mim. /ABSTRACT: I did my curricular traineeship at the Theatre Company Trigo Limpo Teatro ACERT, in Tondela. It's a theatre troupe with an essence and a charisma very special and unique. I was there for three months (from March to May). I had the chance to accompany many activities as to participate in several projects, instead of being parte only on one creative process. Trying to make the understanding and organization of my path in the ACERT easier, I defined three phases on my traineeship: presentation and integration with the whole team; the street show Queima e Rebentamento do Judas; The fantastic adventure of a child called Pinóquio. This was my starting point to write about all I experienced and developed at ACERT, not only as an actress but also as a human being. ln an informal register, I describe on my report the process' most relevant moments, what I've learned with them and what has changed about myself.

Dylan Walsh - dance : art, mourning, archive.

Cet essai envisage le deuil du point de vue d’un homme endeuillé. Sur la base de ma propre expérience de deuil, j’ai questionné les théories freudiennes sur le sujet. Face aux théories derridiennes sur l’archive, je me positionne non pas comme un archiviste professionnel mais comme une personne endeuillée trouvée engagée dans un processus d’archivage. Au regard de la psychanalyse et de l’archive, ce texte n’entend ni ne prétend avancer de nouvelles théories sans prendre en compte leurs histoires respectives. Ce texte propose une étude comparée pour une tentative de définitions à la lumière d’une expérience personnelle. Ces questions seront finalement mises à l’épreuve dans le monument performatif audio-visuel Dylan Walsh – dance.

The Narrative Value of Dance Communication: "habitus", musicality and emotion

The richness of dance comes from the need to work with an individual body. Still, the body of the dancer belongs to plural context, crossed by artistic and social traditions, which locate the artists in a given field. We claim that role conflict is an essential component of the structure of collective artistic creativity. We address the production of discourse in a British dance company, with data that spawns from the ethnography ‘Dance and Cognition’, directed by David Kirsh at the University of California, together with WayneMcGregor-Random Dance. Our Critical Discourse Analysis is based on multiple interviews to the dancers and choreographer. Our findings show how creativity in dance seems to be empirically observable, and thus embodied and distributed shaped by the dance habitus of the particular social context.

‘Do you want to see my hornpipe?’: the traditional Irish dancing body at play in the work of Jean Butler and Colin Dunne’, in Anthony Shay and Barbara Sellers-Young (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Ethnicity, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2016, pp.41-65.

This chapter considers the radical reimaginings of traditional Irish step dance in the recent works of Jean Butler and Colin Dunne, in which the Irish step-dancing body is separated from its historical roots in nationalism, from the exhibitionism required by the competitive form, and from the spectacularization of the commercialized theatrical format. In these works the traditional form undergoes a critical interrogation in which the dancers attempt to depart from the determinacy of the traditional technique, while acknowledging its formation of their corporealities; the Irish step-dance technique becomes a springboard for creative experimentation. To consider the importance of the creative potential revealed by these works, this chapter contextualizes them within the dance background from which they emerged, outlining the history of competitive step dancing in Ireland, the “modernization” of traditional Irish dance with the emergence of Riverdance (1994), and the experiments of Ireland’s national folk theater, Siamsa Tíre.
