Informe “La danza contemporánea como instrumento para fortalecer las habilidades interpretativas y creativas en bailarines de la escuela salsa y ritmo latino.”

Abstract

Within the field of multiple dance has been the research that addresses the study of methodologies to strengthen creative and interpretive skills in a dancer. Each research has sought to establish a route that allows finding answers or findings for the dance practice in order to enrich the theoretical and practical inputs for artists. Now, within dance there are multiple dance styles and in turn these enjoy different qualities, each one focuses on strengthening certain specific skills both at the interpretive level, physical and creative for each case, That is, each one has a question or a search within the interpretation and each dancer has the opportunity to travel through each of these genres and find in them a mythological richness to strengthen as an artist. The above approach, is part of one of the findings found in the development of the present internship in which there was a constant search to establish and build a methodology guide that would enhance the interpretive and creative skills in a group of salsa dancers, making use of the research and study that has been carried out throughout history in relation to contemporary dance, as well as my experience as an undergraduate student of the curricular project Art Dance of the ASAB Faculty of Arts. Throughout the research, different approaches were proposed for this group of dancers with different ages, levels, and dance experience; all of the above making use of different practical theoretical concepts of both genders (salsa and contemporary dance). And in turn these routes generated new states of body consciousness and theory in the interpreters addressed. The proposal presented here shares some of the proposed ways to intervene in the dance processes in which the practice or execution of a particular dance genre predominates; all this making use of dialogue between techniques and self-discovery, to generate not only a growth of the individual as an artist and as a person, but also an enrichment of the investigative line of dance, and an enhancement of its role as intervener and builder of social knowledge.
