Abstract

Discussing scenic creation based on vertical and aerial spaces is above all discussing a hybrid practice requiring a dialogue between several areas of knowledge, including dance, circus, theater and climbing. After starting with a case study, accomplished in collaboration with the Cia Suspensa of Minas Gerais, this research then moves on to explore those spaces in three different contexts: the aerial space, using a suspended chair built specifically for this research; the vertical space, using a climbing wall; and ground warm-up exercises with body training. This exploration gave rise to reflections, dialogues, and the elaboration of two scenic studies, "Ao Vestir Vertigens" and "De Olhos Fechados", performed in cultural events during 2013 and 2014. We then faced the challenge of putting our experiences into words so that we could share them with others; to achieve this, we enlisted the aid of writing partners and cartography techniques. Here, we discuss the practical risks, required training, and possibilities for scenic creation based on vertical and aerial spaces. We propose that such spaces can act as catalysts for the creative process, placing the subject in the field of experiment and thereby generating knowledge (AU)
