FRAGMENTS OF A MARGINALIZED BODY

DANCING POSSIBILITIES FOR THE COLLECTIVE UNMADDENING

Abstract

The following research intends to investigate, through the artistic bibliography field and demonstration of references, possibilities for dancing the restlessness and lacerations of a body, a marginal body, that overflows with pain and repulsiveness, looking for a poetic/political path to find ways to give a voice to other such bodies, aligned with my personal and professional trajectory. Marginality, which through history was directly a mechanism of social exclusion, like compulsory institutionalization that labels our being as crazy, degenerated, alienated, and not compatible with the social norm. I'm looking for the support of authors and artists who use dancing as a social micropolitic, that through the process of announcing/denouncing the scars of the bodies of a wicked dominant social political system, can also provoke cracks in the perception of those who are also connected to it, maybe would mobilize micro body, social and political movements to enlarge such cracks. I hereby dance looking for possibilities of unmaddening this inhumane system, which exists to perpetuate its own interests, power, dominance, and oppression.
