| Abstract | |
I point out a possible relationship among performance, authorship and healing. For such a reason, I present the career and the analyses of works of art selected from creators of the art fields, respectively, from the visual arts, dance and theatre: Lygia Clark (BH, MG), Dudude Herrmann (BH, MG) e Enrique Diaz (RJ, RJ). The research showed that the works of those artists concerns about a transformation in the body¿s image. The act of recreating yourself, by the creative action, can be considered in its healing dimension. The concept pulse of fiction, by Sperber, can help to verify the hypothesis. Sperber points out the existence of the "universals" or the "basic knowledges": simbolization, efabulation and imagination. Those aspects that are "available to all and any human being" (SPERBER, 2009, p. 98) should be also awakened. As Sperber shows, since an early age the child feels that is necessary to create, in order to elaborate deep emotions and events experienced.The child evocates his or her own resources, such as the spoken language or body's performance, in the process of creation.This aptitude or necessity to elaborate the event experienced, by means of the fictional creation, is repeated in all ages of the human being. As an action to resist and looking for transformation, it would be necessary to stimulate, in an unrestricted way, the pulse of fiction, practicing authorship. The works of Herrmann, Diaz and Clark, shows in different artistic languages, authorial aspects, and also the value of the individual potential to creation. By means of analyses, some singular aspects of the works of those creators and theirs practices as teachers or directors are shown. The thesis shows relations of similarity and influence among the works of those Brazilian artists with some principles of work from the group Judson Dance Theater, of the 1960¿s, in New York, as well as other practices stimulated by this group such as Viewpoints and Six Viewpoints (AU) | |
