Abstract:
We present the comprehension of the choreographic piece as a poetic and educational experience, considering the presence of the body as body schema on the production of language, knowledge, and the presence of the education as inter corporeity. It is phenomenological research, based on Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy, in a dialogue with the history of art and Aby Warburg's Mnemosyne method. The corpus of research analysis was intentionally constituted from pieces of the French choreographer Jérôme Bel, highlighting in this article the piece Gala (2015). Besides the referred piece, we also ponder over the lived experiences with the UFRN Dance Group; with the students of Physical Education degree course/UFRN curricular component Body Awareness; and with the students of Dance degree course/UFRN curricular component Dance Technique and Aesthetics. From the phenomenological reduction process, we realized that the choreographic piece, as a poetic and educational experience, broadens our sensibility, and our capacity to know, interpret, and create sensible and intelligible relationships with the world of culture, art, and education. Furthermore, it educates us in the understanding of language as an unfolding of perceptive life, involving historicity, contingency, sensitivity, and affections. It is also worth mentioning the creation of senses in an intersubjective way as a fundamental element in the education process, and we ponder over education as intercorporeity, since there is in the other what is lacking in that one so that can put into perspective senses that were unthinkable until then.
