FORMA – Congresso Piauiense de Ações Formativas, Performativas e Afirmativas em Dança

Abstract

This work is a publication that celebrates the first edition of FORMA - Piauí Congress of Formative, Performative and Affirmative Actions in Dance, held remotely, held by the State University of Piauí - UESPI and contemplated by the State Incentive System for Culture - SIEC (2020) through the State Secretariat of Culture of Piauí - SECULT. FORMA presented relevant results for Dance and Culture of Piauí and emerged to affirm Dance in its plurality of actions in Piauí (Bodies, modes, places, temporalities, durations and ways that make up multiple forms of dancing). To this end, the event featured actions that prioritized the formative, performative and affirmative aspects of Dance as an area of ​​knowledge, given its complexity and social implications. The Congress was held remotely (virtual platforms) and featured presentations of university/academic works, round tables, workshops, artistic performances, which are exposed in this E-book, as a way of disseminating research in Dance. In this first edition, it was possible to perceive a movement of dialogue between artistic and academic dance activities in Piauí and other states of Brazil. Such dialogue relationships corroborated the continued training of professionals who work with Dance in the state of Piauí and other states of Brazil who were present at the event. In this sense, this E-book of summaries brings together several works that were presented in the thematic groups that were mediated by professors with doctorates and/or masters. The works gathered here are a way of affirming Dance in its nature as academic research by highlighting its multidisciplinary articulation in studies such as art, education, creation and activism in Dance. This work also brings together written summaries of the artistic exhibition “No pingo do meio dia”, in which artistic research in Dance was presented through videos. It is important to highlight that the schedule of recorded activities is highlighted in the body of the E-book, as we understand that this event will still reverberate in many other bodies and places.
