This ongoing practical-theoretical research project is being developed within the Ph.D. in Performing Arts and the Moving Image (FBAUL) framework and guided by Professor Doctor Jorge Ramos do Ó and Professor Doctor Madalena Xavier Silva. The project consists of developing a set of devices mediating the exploration of movement, aiming at the description, interpretation, and understanding of how people who do not usually dance experience ‘inclusive modalities of movement’. To this end, in December 2022, I started dynamizing the first cycle of movement sessions. These sessions, in addition to movement exploration proposals, include practices leading to the awareness of the body itself and access to the interiority of the participants in the dance studio. The ultimate aims of this research stem from my interest in refining my practice as a dance teacher and improving devices that lead to movement exploration. Thus, this project aims to develop an investigation with double intentionality: optimizing my pedagogical intervention and heuristic intentionality (the artistic-theoretical production of the object under study). In other words, throughout the development of movement exploration devices with the participants, I will be attentive to possible theoretical unveilings in the pedagogical and artistic spheres.
