O presente relatório de estágio, desenvolvido no ano letivo 2024/2025 no Dance Spot Conservatório de Dança, em Lisboa, analisa de que modo a formação oferecida pelas Escolas de Ensino Artístico Especializado em Dança responde às exigências contemporâneas do setor profissional. A investigação centrou-se em turmas de alunos dos 6º, 7º e 8º anos, tendo como temática a transição entre o meio académico e o tecido profissional. O objetivo principal consistiu na criação de ferramentas que tornassem essa transição mais fluida e integradora, promovendo naturalidade, versatilidade e o desenvolvimento de vertentes criativas essenciais à formação de intérpretes-criadores. A fundamentação teórica baseou-se em bibliografia especializada e em entrevistas a professores, coreógrafos e diretores de companhias portuguesas de dança contemporânea, que, uma vez contrastadas com inquéritos aos alunos, evidenciaram divergências quanto ao entendimento do ‗fazer artístico‘ e às competências valorizadas no mercado. Aplicou-se a metodologia de investigação-ação, recorrendo a instrumentos de recolha de dados como diário de bordo, grelhas de observação, grupo de discussão, gravações audiovisuais, inquéritos aos alunos e as entrevistas acima mencionados. A intervenção pedagógica integrou princípios somáticos — como o grounding do Tai Chi Chuan, o primary control da Técnica de Alexander e abordagens do Movement — articulados com técnicas contemporâneas vanguardistas (Flying Low e Fighting Monkey) e o uso da improvisação e composição coreográfica. Estas estratégias visaram reconfigurar a verticalidade tradicional do corpo treinado, favorecendo maior naturalidade e estimulando a construção de identidades artísticas singulares. Os resultados revelaram uma lacuna persistente entre a formação oferecida e as demandas do mercado, bem como a necessidade de currículos mais diversificados e atualizados. Verificou-se ainda a subvalorização de técnicas contemporâneas recentes e das práticas de improvisação e composição, frequentemente introduzidas tardiamente no currículo. Contudo, a intervenção produziu avanços significativos: aumento da segurança e da consciência corporal relatados pelos alunos, progressão na qualidade de movimento e adesão positiva à inclusão de práticas criativas nas aulas técnicas. Conclui-se pela necessidade de alinhamento curricular com as transformações do setor artístico e de investimento contínuo na atualização docente, promovendo formações que respondam de forma efetiva ao perfil profissional do intérprete-criador contemporâneo.

ABSTRACT -This internship report, developed during the 2024/2025 academic year at the Dance Spot Dance Conservatory in Lisbon, analyzes how the training offered by Specialized Artistic Education Schools in Dance responds to the contemporary demands of the professional sector. The research focused on classes of students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, with the theme being the transition between the academic environment and the professional world. The main objective was to create tools that would make this transition more fluid and integrative, promoting naturalness, versatility, and the development of creative aspects essential to the training of performer-creators. The theoretical foundation was based on specialized bibliography and interviews with teachers, choreographers, and directors of Portuguese contemporary dance companies, who highlighted divergences regarding the understanding of 'artistic practice' and the skills valued in the market. An action research methodology was applied, using data collection instruments such as a logbook, observation grids, focus groups, audiovisual recordings, student surveys, and the aforementioned interviews. The pedagogical intervention integrated somatic principles — such as the grounding of Tai Chi Chuan, the primary control of the Alexander Technique, and Movement approaches — articulated with contemporary techniques (Flying Low and Fighting Monkey), improvisation, and choreographic composition. These strategies aimed to reconfigure the traditional verticality of the trained body, favoring greater naturalness of movement and stimulating the construction of unique artistic identities. The results revealed a persistent gap between the training offered and market demands, as well as the need for more diverse and up-to-date curricula. The undervaluation of recent contemporary techniques and improvisation and composition practices, often introduced late into the curriculum, was also observed. However, the intervention produced significant progress: increased student confidence and body awareness, improved movement quality, and positive acceptance of the inclusion of creative practices in technical classes. The conclusion is that there is a need for curricular alignment with the transformations in the artistic sector and continuous investment in teacher training, promoting programs that effectively respond to the professional profile of the contemporary performer-creator.
