Abstract

This study provides evidence of the existence and fundamental role of affectionate relationships in the creative process proposed by the BPI method (Dancer-Researcher-Performer). Starting from a data collection from primary and secondary sources, I observe that there is the establishment of an Affectionate Network in the system dynamics of the BPI. This study has four chapters, in which I present the development of this investigation and discuss about the structuring of an affectionate relationship network and the importance of the director in the BPI process. This dissertation also synthesizes my in-depth study of the BPI method, proposing, from a bibliographic review, a reflection on the otherness and the ethical conduct in a creative process in the Performing Arts. It is a study that dialogues with many areas of knowledge, especially those related to the arts.
