Contextualizado por um Mestrado em Criação Coreográfica e Práticas Profissionais
(Escola Superior de Dança), na Especialidade em Coreografia, Kaput! é o resultado de um
processo de pesquisa de um entendimento coreográfico propiciador da criação de um solo.
A redefinição do conceito de coreografia é feita a partir da conceção sintética do corpo enquanto uma entidade abstrata, cujas deslocações espaciais se tornam unidades para a composição coreográfica, resultante de processos combinatórios provenientes da matemática. Daqui, surge uma proposta que pretende conter a ideia de ‘toda a coreografia’, e, em consequência, um protótipo da suamaterialização. Deste modo, é criado o termo ‘objeto coreográfico’, para caracterizar Kaput! como objeto artístico, e é proposto o formato de
conferência-performance, para o apresentar a um público.
Estimulado, inicialmente, por uma elaboração temática construída em resposta à narrativa da peça de teatro musical Little Shop of Horrors, o processo de criação de Kaput!
foi-se transformando numa investigação sobre a própria matéria coreográfica, despoletada
pela procura de uma compatibilidade entre as intenções de criação e os materiais explorados
em estúdio. A postura analítica e a observação lógica que pautaram esse processo
investigativo, cada vez mais distanciado do estúdio, permitiram o estabelecimento de
condições de criação coreográfica particulares ao projeto, fundamentadas por premissas
específicas de definição de corpo, de movimento e de coreografia e potenciadas por um
mecanismo de composição coreográfica quase autónomo. Por fim, já de regresso ao estúdio,
a fase final de incorporação dos materiais gerados focou-se, sobretudo, na transferência direta
desses conceitos para a consciência do corpo e experiência de movimento, bem como nos
mecanismos utilizados nesse transporte.
As apresentações de Kaput!, dirigidas à partilha, não só do objeto coreográfico, mas
também da viagem de criação, integraram um momento de exposição verbal e ilustrativa, um
outro de ativação da coreografia e um último de conversa com o público.
ABSTRACT - Contextualized within a Master’s in Choreographic Creation and Professional Practice (Superior School of Dance) and by a specialization in Choreography, Kaput! is the result of an investigation focused on a specific choreographic understanding that facilitated the creation of a solo performance. The redefinition of the concept of choreography began with a synthetic conception of the body as an abstract entity, whose spatial displacements are the units for choreographic composition. This composition stems from combinatorial processes rooted in mathematics. As a result, the idea of 'all choreography' arised and consequently a prototype for its materialization was proposed. Thus, the term 'choreographic object' was coined to characterize Kaput! as an artistic object, which was presented in a lecture-performance format. Initially Kaput! was inspired by a thematic elaboration developed in response to the narrative of the musical theater piece Little Shop of Horrors. The creative process eventually evolved into a research on the choreographic material itself. This shift was triggered by the search for a balance between the creative intentions and the studio practice. The analytical and logical approach that guided this research away from the studio allowed the creation of specific choreographic conditions for the project. These were founded on particular premises concerning the definition of body, movement and choreography – all of them enhanced by an almost autonomous choreographic composition mechanism. Once back in the studio, the embodiment of the generated materials took place. In this final phase, the aim was the direct transfer of these concepts into the body awareness and movement experience, as well as the mechanisms used for this transposition. The final Kaput! presentations shared not only the choreographic object but also the creative journey. They included moments of verbal and illustrative exposition, activation of the choreography and conversation with the audience.
