Desmistificação da fragilidade do gênero feminino na performance da dança contemporânea

Abstract

Contemporary dance has too much a search for its specific understanding, for its origin has been attributed to the disruption of an existing technique without objective intentions of creating another. Having a broad perspective on the languages that can be constructed from the freedom of expression, it has been configured between the spaces that produce movements as a place also of speech of those who create them and especially those who interpret them. Understanding contemporary dance in this place is essential to bring it as a means to reach discussions about gender inequalities, as it is a question of identity, which this dance recognizes as essential to the structures that guide it in its assumptions. of representation. This study aims to investigate the social constructions that operate on gender inequalities, specifically the feminine, to understand how the phenomenon of the frailty myth occurred and thus to elucidate the possible paths taken by women until contemporary times, when its representativeness still constituted within this perspective is perceived. Given this proposition, I seek to delineate a qualitative analysis built through semi-structured interviews with four women artists who work in the contemporary dance scene in Goiânia. Starting from the hypothesis of his contributions about his experiences to the dialogues about the feminine fragility in this scenario and the expectations about the contemporary dance as propeller of the woman's identity within its context.
