Construcción de mi corporeidad danzaria: Una autoetnografía como bailarín intérprete del folclor y el contemporáneo

Abstract

This autoethnographical investigation explored the transformations of my body and the length of my training in contemporary dance at the Facultad de Artes ASAB and its impact in my desempeño in the folk dance of production for the scene. Through the registration of a personal bit, an interview applied to the director of the company Danza Colombia International (DCI) and the analysis of images of my corporate evolution, examination of the transformation of my body like the technical and expressive principles acquired at the Faculty of Arts ASAB (Academia de Artes Superior Bogotá) is influenced by my body of performance from the scenic folk. It is evident that training in contemporary dance has amplified my corporal awareness, expression and technical dominion, allowing it to integrate new performances into the folk dance of proyección. Elements like the fluidity of movement, the use of weight and the bodily disassociation are enriching my scenic design, favoring a greater organicity in the interpretation of folk repertoires within a context of artistic production. This work reflects on the importance of interdisciplinary training in dance training and how the dialogue between different dance languages (traditional dance and contemporary dance) offers new possibilities for artistic and scenic development. Autography allowed me to understand the interaction between academic training and professional practice, revealing the transformative potential of dance education through the construction of new corporate and expressive identities in the scene.
