| Abstract | |
This study has as subject of reflection and practical research the experimental process Movement, Breathing and Singing. This practice is based on the Perceptible Breath by Ilse Middendorf. The proposal of experiencing breath based on the fundamentals of Middendorfs practice enables, along with other strategies, a certain performance of the body, composing this experimental process. The creative unfolding of the Perceptible Breath derives initially from pedagogical experiences, which develops at crossing points where research, teaching as well as a proposal of artistic creation meet. How this practice can establish a connection with a process creating art emerges then as the main question. This study examines what is necessary to constitute a process of creation, specifically of musical creation, which is organized from a bodys action, that is from breathing in relation to both movement and voice. Starting with contemporary theory that considers performance as a cultural paradigm and attributing the creative process to the performers action, this study has the focus on the process, appreciating what characterizes generating space of creation and a body in a state of creation, as a concept manifesting itself as the result of reflection. Undergoing this process leads the performer to experience a body in a state of creation, generating both vocal improvisations and movements, which result from the interrelations that the breath establishes with movement and voice. These moments of creation occur like a performative event, where the body is the principal agent of the artistic process. The process of creating art is here considered like a way of transposing the limits between body and space, thus leading the body to transfigure itself in movement, gestures and sounds thereby revealing one of the many possibilities of its metamorphoses. The consideration of the relations between body and voice points to a state of dissolution of boundaries and undergoing this experimental process reveals itself as a possibility of occupying the border area - between different artistic languages, between the self and the other so as to constitute itself as a experience of communion.
