Knowledge in Motion: What Do Dances Moved by Mythical Experiences and Ancestral Body Matrices Enunciate About Doing Dance in Contemporaneity?

Meeting
The proposal of this meeting is to share the investigation of dance practices from the ritualities and enchantments of African and indigenous matrices to the artistic creations in which work is life embodied. The guests also elaborate proposals on how to erase the logics of fruition that are still exclusionary and discriminatory in the arts.

Knowledge in Motion
Gathered under the name “Knowledge in Motion”, the meetings bring the joy of thinking about what is dance in the time of now, in the most diverse places. Held among artists participating in the Bienal Sesc de Dança, intellectuals, researchers and communities, they seek to reflect on issues and move knowledge between bodies that dance, that watch, that want to start dancing, that dance professionally, or that dance to make life. The dialogues, mediated by Sonia Sobral and Princesa Ricardo Marinelli, are an invitation to cultivate and share the imagination between people, realities and knowledge, and also a place to arrive, in which the body that lives moves, awakening and dancing on its territory.
