FIGUEIREDO, Valéria Maria Chaves de. Gente em cena: fragmentos e memórias da dança em Goiás. ETD [online]. 2007, vol.08, n.02, pp.314-315. ISSN 1676-2592.

The present work has as an objective to present the dance as art memory, memory held within the bodies that dance, and for this purpose the folk popular dances of Goiás were reconstructed; these popular “forgotten” dances take place only in the memory of the dwellers of Santa Cruz, a small town in the state of Goiás. The focus is the perspective of the oral history, with prior use of oral sources and the images records. The interrelation with the community fl ourishes as a mandatory condition to apprehend the manners, the stories, the movements, the drama that mark their daily routine and its art. These dances linger in the memory of the elders; there are no systematic records, they are kept alive in their oral tradition, more particularly in the bodies’ memory, since they haven’t danced them for ages. Were dances learned in the local parties, carried through in the farms of the region. Between the mutirões and pagodes, these dances and chanting had the intention of creating a collectivizing experiences, anchoring themselves in the exchanges and the affective, social and cultural relations. Throughout the years they had been forbidden and/or rejected by capitalist modernity. Our methodology involves registering the long lived lore experience by the images and the language written, building a network of meaningful information. The intention is to look to the body as a multiple text made of history, lore, memory, culture and art; it is the various dialogs and dances in the field of polissitemic knowledge that matters. They are tyrannies and poetry inscribed in the daily routine and in dance. The theory referential points of this work dialogs with various authors such as Portelli, Olga Von Simson, Walter Benjamin, among others.
