Performers without borders, a clinical-performative platform of actions in relational art

Abstract

The article discusses the work of the clinical-performative platform Performers without Borders (PsF), which works in contexts of people with punctual or chronic trauma, as well as in actions that cultivate and promote health. We will aproach the art/healing interface based on the concept of PARC (Performances of Relational Art as Cure practice), developed by Tania Alice, in some clinical-performative actions performed by the platform, set around three axes guiding the work of the collective: 1. The free movement as therapeutic practice by the creation of punctual platforms of free expression of the body. 2. The empowerment of the participants, based on work done by two members of the PsF together with users of the mental health network in Rio de Janeiro entitled “Every dream well dreamed can one day become a reality”. 3. The potentialization of the affections within the performance “The hug Project Brazil/Nepal” of Tania Alice.
