Poetic Immersions as a Formation Process of the Artist-Teacher

Abstract

The present communication proposes a research process of/on art through the study of some poetic and academic interventions, here entitled poetic immersions: immersion in the sense of being submerged, surrounded by liquid or, in the sense given by astronomy, in which immersion is considered the "entry of a star in the shadow of another". It is understood by poetic and academic interventions promoting/teasing scenic and choreographic processes from a suggested topic, coordinated by an artist, integrating students, teachers and community members. The project assumes that to maintain contact with the essence of being a dance artist – maintains contact with "what we are made of" (Strazzacappa, 2011) – in other words, being in a "state of dance", is a sine qua non of teachers in the field of art and the artist's hybrid training (Louppe, 1997).

Keywords: poetic immersions; scenic and choreographical creation; poetic and academic interventions.
