Cuerpo en movimiento: la sinergia entre la danza contemporánea y la acrobacia de piso

Abstract

This research–creation project aims to analyze the relationship between contemporary dance and floor acrobatics within the framework of a stage performance, based on a process that articulates bodily practice, theoretical reflection, and artistic creation. The study is developed from a qualitative approach, where the researcher’s body functions as the central axis of experimentation, analysis, and knowledge production. The methodology is based on participation in contemporary dance and acrobatics workshops, conducting interviews with artists in the field, the analysis of stage works, and the development of bodily exploration laboratories. These processes contribute to the identification of points of convergence between both disciplines, such as the use of weight, the relationship with the floor, energy transfer, and body awareness. As a result, a stage proposal was developed in which floor acrobatics is organically integrated into movement, ceasing to be an isolated technical resource and becoming an extension of the bodily language. Likewise, it was evidenced that the integration of these practices does not depend solely on technical mastery, but on the ability to generate continuity, intention, and coherence on stage. Finally, the research concludes that the articulation between contemporary dance and floor acrobatics expands the expressive possibilities of the body, contributing new forms of creation and understanding of movement within the scenic context.
