The Expanded Scene: Crossroads Between Theater, Cinema and Video - Concepts and Multiple Poetics ma, and Video

Julia Carrera, Felisberto Sabino da Costa — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The text discusses the relationship between theater and digital technologies, especially recorded and projected images. It questions whether the "live performance" is still composed of actors in flesh and blood, and that screens can open new spaces for imagination and alter the audience's perception, exploring a changing world. The text also discusses the arrival of digital images in theater, highlighting how digital technology has expanded the possibilities of creation and documentation of the scene. The presence of images in the theatrical scene shifts the spectator's perception and expands the possibilities of the play. Theater has always had a relationship with cinema, but digital language brings new possibilities and challenges concepts such as identification, illusion, spectator, and presence. Technological advancements have allowed creators of the stage to expand their methods of creation, inventing devices and crossing results. By the end of the 20th century, procedures involving the intersection of cinema and theater emerged in the theatrical scene, such as using films as creative material, the influence of accelerated editing in cinema on the rhythm of the staging, projecting overlaid images onto the scene, using recorded soundtracks, and recording rehearsals on video. These technologies have expanded the possibilities of theatrical creation and the recording of performances on video.

Spaces are alive: From the Environmental Art of Hélio Oiticica to the Environmental Theater of Richard Schechner

This study seeks to bring together the concepts of Environmental Art, by Hélio Oiticica, and Environmental Theater, by Richard Schechnner, in an attempt to contribute to studies in the Performing Arts concerned with the relationship between performer and spatiality. To this end, it focuses on spatial latencies in which environments are co-agents in the processes of creation in a coexistence that allows for a kind of feeling of space, caused by bodies in displacement and the interrelationships generated there. Finally, in this relationship of communion with the environment, it is believed that the effective consideration of space as a state of life gives the creative act the condition of daily rupture, in the body of the artist and in the body of the world.

Um Moçambique inserido no mundo: a peça Desmascarado, de Venâncio Calisto

Carlos Gontijo Rosa, Beth Brait — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Ao analisar a peça Desmascarado, do autor moçambicano Venâncio Calisto, os dois aspectos mais evidentes são o conflito entre as personagens Amélia e Arcanjo como reflexo e metáfora das disputas entre feminilidade versus masculinidade e tradição versus modernidade. Naquela, a peça é uma reação à visão da mulher para um certo tipo de ancestralidade em que se calca uma cultura popular moçambicana (a peça, o contexto da dança mapiko); nesta, a forma como as personagens se veem e como interagem com os acontecimentos do mundo contemporâneo. Na peça, todas as marcas de passado remetem ao retrógrado e ultrapassado, colocando também em questão a supervalorização de uma cultura local. Assim, vemos como essa “nova geração” da dramaturgia africana em língua portuguesa interage com um passado plural e com um presente que inexoravelmente chega para todas as sociedades.

For an honest gesture: Rubens Barbot and contemporary black dance

Leandro da Conceição Borges, Paulo Melgaço da Silva Junior — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The article discusses the importance of Rubens Barbot's work in contemporary dance and proposes a remembrance of his work in the field of education. Companhia Rubens Barbot de Dança-Teatro was the first black contemporary dance company formed by black artists, which sought to value the bodies of its dancers and hybridize culture with contemporary dance. The text argues that, in a context where the memory of struggles is made invisible, it is important to bring Barbot's proposals and present them to students in order to promote anti-racist education and decolonize bodies and minds. Finally, the authors also highlight the importance of connecting to ancestry in order to promote new knowledge and ways of seeing, living and being in the world.

Benefícios do ballet para pessoas com deficiência visual: estudo baseado na percepção da família

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Our study aimed to characterize what are the benefits of ballet for people with Visual Impairment (DV) in the perception of the family. Five mothers (ages 38 to 46 years) participated in the study. Their daughters were dancers with congenital DV (age 13 to 22 years), practicing classical ballet for three years. Data collection consisted of the application of a semi-structured interview (via whatsapp) with issues related to the benefits of ballet for young people with DV. Our results indicated benefits related to well-being, personal achievement, self-esteem and happiness; posture improvement, balance and independence improvement. We conclude that in the perception of the mothers of the dancers with DV the benefits are related to the development in the psychological and physical-motor aspects.

Práticas somáticas em dança como terapia para pessoas com doença de Parkinson: experiências com o método Baila Parkinson.

Wallesson Amaral Alcantara, Juliana dos Santos Duarte, Lane Viana Krejcová — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Este artigo discute as práticas terapêuticas para pessoas com doença de Parkinson (DP) através do método Baila Parkinson, elaborado a partir de técnicas de dança associadas a conceitos e técnicas multiprofissionais em reabilitação. A DP altera o esquema, a imagem e a consciência corporal, de acordo com a progressão da doença e com características individuais do sujeito. Seus sintomas levam ao aumento da dependência, isolamento social, depressão, perda de controle, vinculados à natureza imprevisível da doença, que agravam a condição deste corpo para além da patologia. Através do método Baila Parkinson, discutiremos a lógica relacionada aos benefícios das práticas somáticas na dança na promoção da consciência corporal e do autoconhecimento por meio da experiência artística. A recuperação do contato com o próprio corpo e o aumento do senso de controle através da exploração das suas possibilidades podem promover benefícios motores, psicológicos, cognitivos e sociais, atenuando o quadro clínico. Acreditamos que no cenário terapêutico alguns conceitos provenientes da educação somática podem auxiliar a conscientização do corpo, como a observação interna a partir da interação com objetos, mapa gestual e respiração como suporte do movimento. Tudo numa cronologia dividida entre sentir, perceber e intencionar através de experimentações de conexão com o corpo.
