Resumo: This paper calls into question the central tenets of the Dancer-Researcher-Performer (BPI) method taught at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil. The analysis problematizes the underlying assumption that students lack an awareness of their own Brazilianness, which they must find through BPI, and questions a choreographic methodology where students are coached to be possessed by the dance. The paper draws attention to the power imbalances inherent in BPI’s co-habitation experience, where students research marginal others who are understood as the source of authentic Brazilian culture. The paper invites BPI students and teachers to reconsider the ethics of this research methodology, and to consider the possibility of choreographic research that engages both mind and body critically and consciously.

A análise problematiza a suposição de que os alunos não têm consciência da sua própria brasilidade, a qual eles devem buscar através do BPI, e questiona uma metodologia coreográfica na qual alunos são ensinados a serem possuídos pela dança. O trabalho chama a atenção ao desequilíbrio de poder inerente na experiência de co-habitar do BPI, em que alunos pesquisam outros às margens da sociedade, que são entendidos como fonte de uma autêntica cultura brasileira. O trabalho convida alunos e professores de BPI a reconsiderar a ética dessa metodologia de pesquisa e a considerar a possibilidade de pesquisas coreográficas que sejam capazes de engajar mente e corpo de uma forma crítica e consciente.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2022-10-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/presenca/article/view/62864Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies; Vol. 6 No. 2 (2016): May/Aug. 2016; 287-308Révue Brésilienne d'Études de la Présence; Vol. 6 No. 2 (2016): Mai/Aôut 2016; 287-308Révue Brésilienne d'Études de la Présence; Vol. 6 No 2 (2016): maio/ago. 2016; 287-308Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença; v. 6 n. 2 (2016): maio/ago. 2016; 287-3082237-2660reponame:Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presençainstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/presenca/article/view/62864/50458Hofling (University of North Carolina – Greensboro, Estados Unidos da América), Ana Paulainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-12T19:22:12Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/62864Revistahttp://seer.ufrgs.br/presencaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/presenca/oai||rev.presenca@gmail.com2237-26602237-2660opendoar:2022-10-12T19:22:12Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
