Vaca profana enquanto relato de experiência: descobertas de um corpo em cena

Abstract

The aim of this study is to report my experience and personal experiences within the show Vaca Profana, describing the creation process, which I had during the two and a half years in its construction. The specific objectives are to describe about the UFS dance and performance group; narrate about the creation process of the show Vaca Profana; reflect on my personal journey at Vaca, my discoveries, elaborations, as an artist-researcher educator in the process of formation. The research field emerged from the encounter of my body with the affective memories that emerged through various creation laboratories, bringing my personal experiences. Methodologically, the reflections were based on the description of the field experiences of this body, entangled with my academic path, academically justifying the impact that the project had as several personal processes. Thus, reporting all the processes of experiences of the student and interpreter-creator in the eightscenes, bringing reflections of feelings that reverberated in the course of rehearsals and creative laboratories of the same. The theoretical reference covered covers the following authors: Farias (2022) to reference the perception of Vaca Profana as other perspectives; Larrosa (2017) with the writing that experience is everything that happens to us and transmitted different sensations to our body, which in the right hands can become singing or dancing. At the end of the process of construction, execution and reflection of the show, it is possible to observe gains and sums before the community, the gain of knowledge of these subjects related to us women, the importance that an extension project has within an academic community that made this present as a spectator, with three of those who joined the group, being part of the interpreter-creators. The importance of GDP for the student body of the course, especially for undergraduates, who most of the time have a greater experience of dance practice beyond the classroom, adding even more knowledge of students in theory and practice with dance, providing teaching baggage as an educator. So in my personal, professional process, having a better understanding that we women have been in a daily struggle for about years, to defend our rights in all situations of our lives, fighting against patriarchy, also understanding the various abuses that we go through in our lives, many times without having the knowledge that it is an abuse, because we were not created to have this understanding. Finally, in these reports and self reflections, which continue to reverberate in all areas of my life.
