Dança líquida numa vida líquida

 

A proposta para esta residência artística é inspirada pelo conceito de 'sociedade líquida', um termo criado pelo sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman e o principal motor dessa proposta.

Como podem ainda os praticantes de movimentos e bailarinos desenvolver práticas numa sociedade que exige destes uma reinvenção constante do eu, das práticas e crenças, mas também dos lugares onde vivem, trabalham e até o tipo de relacionamento com o qual tem com outros, num contexto público, mas também no privado?

Liquid Dance é uma tentativa de desenvolver uma prática de dança num mundo que está em constante transformação e modernidade, com todas as suas implicações.

Liquid Dance in a Liquid Life

​

The practice of “liquidity” inside of a Dance Context

What does mean for us as movers and dancer practitioners to live in a social environment that is constantly changing and is becoming less certain? In other words, what does mean for us as human beings and dance practitioners to be confronted by living in a “liquid society” a term created by sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and main stimulus to this proposal.

The concept of “liquid life” developed by Bauman is the inspiration to develop a proposal that will have as a main interest the creation of a space in which a collective of dancers will explore some of the elements implied in the times we are facing and the consequences of living in a modern society. In this order of ideas, I ask myself how is this “liquidity” present in our lives and dance practices. How we manage to constantly shift and reshape our believes and as a consequence our body practices?

For the workshop we will use several improvisation practices supported by a dance training informed by several release techniques.

The proposal for this Artistic Residency hosted by GNRation is inspired in the concept of “liquid society” a term created by sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and the main motor to this proposal.

How we can still developing our practices in a society that demands from us a constant reinvention of our-self, of our practices, of our believes, but also, the places where we live, we work and even the kind of relationship we have with others, in a public context but also in the privet one?

Liquid Dance is an attempt to develop a dance practice in a world that is in constant transformation and modernity with all the implications of it.
