ROUND TABLE 01
BODY, NUDITY AND POLITICS: DANCE AND ITS ETHICAL AND AESTHETIC INTERSECTIONS
Luciana Lara
Prof Dr. Paulo Petronílio
Profa Dra. Larissa Ferreira
2017 was a year of intense debate about ethical, aesthetic and political limits that the body can stress in the art. This tightening, generally due to nudity, generated complex discussions about the presence of the body as a scenic social event that transcends moral, social, cultural and artistic issues. Dance, as a knowledge area and artistic language, is a fertile ground for the study of inherent aspects of the body culture and its perfomances, whether in the artistic stages, in the streets or in city spaces, in their most varied aesthetics, styles and scenic possibilities. How the body in the dance can reveal the nakedness of the relations in a cultural, political and social context through art? How the cultural issues are problematized in creative processes in dance? Is that independent of the artist's intention? Date: April 23, 2018 Hour: 16:00 to 18:00 p.m. Location: IFB

ROUND TABLE 2
DANCE IN CHILDHOOD AS A COACH FOR ART APPRECIATING AUDIENCE
Prof Dra Ana Carolina Mendes
Vann Porath
Coletivo Antônia
The process of insertion of art within the formal education spaces followed the historical process of knowledge’s schooling. At the same time, the teaching / art / learning dance networks have also been configured historically in dialogue with this context, even out of the formal spaces. How is it possible to think about the education and the insertion of arts in the daily life of the individual, since his childhood? How can parents and teachers be aware of the importance of teaching arts? One of the objectives of this activity is reflecting on the challenges and theoretical-methodological implications of dance learning networks. The more experiences gained with art, the more possibilities of integral human development. Then, what is the role of dance, of movement, in the specificities of this process? To what extent has dance been critically reflecting and re-evaluating its formal and non-formal teaching / learning processes? How children’s audience can be formed through its encouraging to become a potential appreciator of art?

The Antônia Collective was created in 2009 from scenic investigations towards early childhood. During the last 9 years, the group is devoted to the creation of shows that promote horizontal dynamics between children and adults, based on the ability that babies have to marvel, focusing on their emotional, poetic and aesthetic sensibilities. In its creations, the group promotes the scene as an experience and provides situations in which the viewer conducts his own existence. Currently, the Collective participates in the research project Dramaturgy of the Senses, investigating the theatrical performance for babies under the coordination of the teacher Rita de Almeida (PPG-CEN I UnB). The group is also a member of the Small Size project, an European organization focused on early childhood that assembles artists, creators, festivals and international cultural equipments.
