Cuerpo vivido, diversidad corporal y danza contemporánea

Abstract

The relationship between body self-perception and experience in the training process that establishes the contemporary dance dancer is the focus of the monograph whose results is presented in this document. The reflection is made from the description of the bodily experiences that some students, graduates, and teachers were fortunate enough to share a large part of their individual academic and training process within the Project Dance Art Curriculum (PCAD) and that as a research team we took on the task of systematize the different experiences already lived previously, during the year 2021. The qualitative-descriptive research is carried out on the conceptual basis derived from a documentary review that allowed us to identify four categories —self-perception, body, experience and body image—, from which the results were analyzed thrown by the interviews made to the selected population sample. They were identified as characterizing elements of the body self-perception of the dance dancer contemporary: the process of aesthetic, emotional and circumstantial assimilation experienced by bodies, in correspondence with a particular space-time that is defined in construction with otherness.
