Dança para pessoas em cadeira de rodas: estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem a partir do programa Arte na Escola/SE

Abstract

This monograph, titled "Dance for People in Wheelchairs: Teaching-Learning Strategies from the Art at School Program/SE," investigated dance for wheelchair users as an inclusive activity. The research used a methodology that combined literature review with practical experience from the Art at School Program. The work sought to deconstruct "Compulsory Bipedalism," valuing all corporealities. The "Practice of Consideration" was the ethical foundation, focusing on the individualization of bodies rather than rigid standards. Practical experience with the "Art at School Program" in Sergipe demonstrated that barriers are more symbolic than physical, residing in social resistance. Pedagogical strategies based on Laban's Factors (Weight, Time, Space, and Fluency) are suggested as dance teaching/learning processes for people in wheelchairs. The contribution of this research proposal to the field of dance results from the scarcity of references that present methodological strategies for teaching dance to people with disabilities.
