Do lugar-entre: corpos e imagens em diálogo no jogo da Capoeira Angola

Abstract

Starting from the proposal of thinking about the processes of formation in arts, from Capoeira Angola's artistic languages and photography, having as a thread my experiences with these practices and the process of art-education in the Monte Serrat Community, in Florianópolis-SC, the research intends to contribute with the others, which work with the thinking about capoeira from the body itself, from the body-capoeira. In the process, we study and appreciate the works of artists Carybé, Pierre Verger and Marcel Gautherot. And it s at this intersection, between the images of these artists and the practice of Capoeira Angola in the Community, that the sensory and visual methodology Do Lugar-Entre (The Place Between) develops. This space that is made and crumbles among the players, in the fleeting game of Capoeira Angola, as a space of respect, playfulness and body creation, which materializes visually from the lived experience. Projects that complement each other in a crescent that goes through the observation of the bodies inside and outside the game of capoeira, in the established connection with the local context. In this process of art-education, the body is the central element and photography is the visual language that drives this representation that intends to make visible, the invisible, the relationships established in the game. It questions the possibilities of imagery expression of this artistic and cultural practice, which, through the different forms of transmission, put by its Masters and practitioners, materializes in images of body, philosophical and spiritual dialogues, which acquire meaning here from the research and from my own trajectory with regard to these two languages of art. A relationship between body, movement and photography that challenges me to capture what I see/feel in Capoeira Angola's ritualized game
