Comunicación asertiva en danza

Abstract

Conveying clearly what we want to express is often one of the biggest challenges we face when performing a dance-theater piece. In non-verbal communication we can find many elements that can be used as tools for dance creators and performers and enable a greater connection with the viewer to captivate their attention and generate a continuous interest throughout the work. It is proposed to work from the dramatic composition as one of the main tools in the creation so that each of the performers have enough information to work on their role and their character on stage and thus find a better group connection and thus be able to convey to the viewer from a clear and coherent position what you want to communicate. Through the dramaturgy of the image we explore the possibilities it has to offer, not only as an image that fascinates for a few seconds and then we get used to it, but as one that remains in the spectator's thoughts and also suggests a narrative context in the work, that captivating image that awakens emotions in the viewer, that feels alive and that is transformed. The spectator is the one we work for; that is why it is of vital importance as creative artists not to become self-absorbed and think only of our own interests, nor to work from the ego or from competition. In this monograph we study the perception of the spectator through a gaze that reveals the nature of the human being, which allows us to experience, feel and transmit. By awakening these emotions in the spectator a totally different experience is generated, but it must be taken into account that each human being has unique and unrepeatable experiences, which is why even if we have a clear dramatic line within the work, it is not possible to suggest the literality and this is what captivates; However, in this monograph we analyze that thin line between letting the spectator experience what he understands from his individuality and what is suggested to him, since the spectator can lose interest if he does not understand what he is seeing, as it happens in some of the dance creations where the abstract, the feeling or the ecstasy of the interpreter predominates without having a real need to do it, which can generate confusion and possibly disinterest in the spectator.
