Performance art: collaborative multidisciplinarity as a sensitive experience

Abstract

This article reflects on a creative work in Performance Art which has amalgamated the visual arts, theater and dance in a multiple conception, also involving the anthropological field research in its transdisciplinary perspective. The research was focused on the collaborative creative process of nine Performances that constituted the ExposiAção. The individual and, at the same time, collectivized experience of the artists contributed significantly to the definition of ethical, aesthetic and political choices which crossed the process as a whole. The difficulty of conceptualizing Performance is taken into account in this research, dueto the term’s various possibilities of unfolding, especially in the multidisciplinar artistic universes. On the other hand, it posits itself as a diverse and plural space-time of the art-bodies, standing as a recurrent presence in contemporary art. The presente investigation still aims to approach the understanding of Performance as moment of a sensitive experience.
