GUELRA project (2013-present, Arte Total - School of Dance) is a laboratory for transdisciplinary choreographic creation of interaction between different artistic languages. Based on a format of artistic residency, its primary proposal is to promote creation and discussion about contemporary art, by establishing relationships with the city of Braga, providing articulations with Arte Total, and contributing to the creation of an online archive. The partnership with i2ADS/FBAUP began in 2018 and pursues the assignment of a research dimension to the activities developed with artists, by mobilizing the figure of the artist-researcher-teacher in the residences for the inscription of the collaborative work in the territories of Arts Education and Artistic Research. This article arises from the perspective of that intervening figure who has been accompanying GUELRA since May 2018, when she participated in Cristina Mendanha's “This became my text”, the first of seven residences attended to date. Following that inceptive experience questions will be brought up based on a certain materiality of the artistic creation process. They intend to problematize the practice of video as performative documentation, and the core use of text in choreographic training processes. By borrowing the productive idea of ​​commentary as discourse, by Michel Foucault, we intend to re-inscribe the practice of documentary as a do-commentary, appealing to a power that makes happen, and that immerses as much in art as in education. “Documentary of the process of artistic research” is a video that comments “This has become my text”, and that seeks to debate with pedagogical subjects under construction and yet-to-come the questions of theory and practice, of the text and movement, production and exclusion of knowledge production forms, and the pedagogical opportunity built on the artistic.
