Arte do Mover: Um Olhar da Autoetnografia Sobre Arte, Saude e Educação na Formação de Jovens Bailarinos

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on reflecting and discussing the processes involved in the experience of "A Arte do Mover," (The Art of Moving) a project created by the author. The experience was conducted with students undergoing professional training, including young dance artists in Brazil, specifically in the classical ballet modality, and students from a physiotherapy program at a public arts institution with international recognition, located in Goiânia (Escola do Futuro em Artes Basileu França). To this end, an ethnographic study was undertaken, considering the lived experiences of the artist-researcher throughout her professional trajectory in the performing arts, as well as a field study conducted over one year at the aforementioned institution. Given the scope of the research, a triangulation between art, health, and education is proposed. The field immersion highlighted the intersections experienced by both the young participants and the author amid contradictions and complexities. The discussions in this text articulate concepts such as health, the position of the research subjects (and the researcher) within the study, and also subjective aspects of the quality of life of young artists during their technical dance training. Finally, the need for an expanded perspective in professional training is emphasized, underscoring the potential of utilizing the biopsychosocial model in dance education, so that affective, sensitive, and plural perspectives can be developed.
