Portas: entre vias, saia são - performance de gente

Abstract

The study sought to promote performing arts among residents of the northwest region of Goiânia, adopting a workshop approach that culminated in an artistic performance. The central proposal of the research was the creation of a performance among the region’s residents. The research was based on the concepts of Spinoza’s “affects” and Bakhtin’s “voices”, paving the way for a deeper exploration through memory from somatic-performative research. This exploration involved the search for objects, actions, memories, stories and movements that held the desire to be shared. The main objective was to discover voices and affections that intertwine in the search for (re)creating through artistic performance. As a result, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of art as a means of expression, connection and personal development in collaboration with the local community. Therefore, when exploring voices and affections, a deep and meaningful journey is revealed that transcends the limits of the body and language. Voices, as individual and collective entities, and affects, as emotional drivers, merge in an exploration that echoes the rich diversity of human experience and its quest to (re)create through artistic performance.
