Resumo: The Pilates method, originally called contrology, has been gaining a significant following in Brazil. This article discusses the method’s principles and convergences with somatic education by analyzing the original works of Joseph Pilates using an aesthetic-philosophical approach. It seems implicit that the Pilates method can be instrumental for the performing arts, and the article accordingly points to some connections in this regard. However, the article also argues that, in the absence of the guiding principles proposed by Pilates, the method ceases to be an art of control and instead is reduced to something not much different from other physical exercises.

Dans ce texte, ses principes et ses convergences avec l’éducation somatique sont abordés dans une approche esthétique et philosophique des œuvres originales de Joseph Pilates. Il semble tacite que la méthode peut contribuer efficacement aux arts de la scène et certaines relations sont proposées en ce sens. En outre, il est question que, sans les principes directeurs proposés par son créateur, cette contribution cesse d’être un art du contrôle pour se réduire à une pratique physique pas très différente d’autres. The Pilates method, originally called contrology, has been gaining a significant following in Brazil.
