VILELA, Lilian Freitas. A body in Brazilian contemporary dance: path of breaks and affirmations. ETD [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.02, pp.93-112. ISSN 1676-2592.

This paper is part of a doctorate research made at Laborarte/UNICAMP from which the main focus is the story of artistic life of Denise Stutz, Brazilian dancer, and her way of acting since the 1970 until today. The specific aproach of this work refers to the period of questioning the dance and her experience in drama and performance, in a moment of esthetical and existential crisis. This research puts together voice and body in their sensitive aspects adopting as a methodological procedure in the qualitative research, the transcriation of her oral narratives and the movement analysis integrated to the analysis of the spectacle of reference works in the way of the dancer. Sewing aesthetic reflections experienced and played we may confirm the power of the art of dancing as a way of perception, transformation and creation of oneself, and this dance as a language of the body-subject pronounced in the world and for the world around.
