Deixa de caô, o negócio é mandar passinho: brega-funk, corpo, resistência e dança

Abstract

This work, written in the experience report format, is based on the subalternized epistemological forms of writings of the black body in the diaspora, which experiences and produces Brazilian dance. Reporting the consequences of coloniality in institutional spaces, which still contain the paradigms of Eurocentric hegemonic knowledge taken as the only truth, I present Brega-funk and Passinho dos Malokas as artistic manifestations resulting from the Brazilian black diaspora, which has dance as an epistemology of resistance and survival of their subaltern bodies. In order to carry out a writing that contributes to the recognition and implementation of these forms of knowledge in the educational field of Brazilian Dance, with a qualitative approach, I report the experience acquired in the curricular component Supervised Internship Dance III. In such component, I taught classes to students from the Municipal Network of Teaching, together with two classmates. In these classes, held remotely, due to the pandemic caused by Covid-19, we introduce references from these underestimated, marginalized epistemologies that provide the emergence of new dances through bodies that build knowledge by dancing in spaces non-hegemonic and that cross me because I'm a black, northeastern woman, from the countryside who studies Dance.
