Creation process, Dance, Myth, Image, Sculpture.Abstract
This article is one of the academic amplifications resulting from a doctor research in Arts of the Scene by UNICAMP, conducted by the author herself. It is a critical account of the experience of a process of creation in dance, in which the interpreter-creator investigates from the body’s own experience the intrinsic relations between body; mythology and sculptural images.
The scenic work is poetically entitled Medusa on Reverse, after all one of the motes of creation deals, precisely, with the sculptural image, more specifically works of the french sculptress Camille Claudel, which, poetically, converges the sculptures (stones) into a danced movement (in contrast to the myth of Medusa that transforms living bodies into stone sculptures).
