As novas travessias da Técnica Klauss Vianna: dos corpos-tela às encruzilhadas pedagógicas

Abstract

For more than four decades, the so-called Klauss Vianna Technique (KVT) has shaped bodies with autonomy and self-perception, sharpening presence mode, consciousness, and communication. As well as to training dance and theatre artists, it has also established a cognitive strategy imparting to movement a new life. During the health crisis due to the outbreak of COVID, dance classes and body work began to be offered by screen mediation. The hypothesis of the present research is that TKV persists in its evolutionary process, enabling learning and communication possibilities even in mediatic environment, despite the problems involved in screen dependence and the consequent emerging of “app-like bodies” (Katz 2012). The theoretical grounding is based on the Corpomedia Theory (Katz and Greiner), on the practical and theoretical studies by TKV, and some other authors, among whom the Philosopher Alva Noé and the Neurologist António Damásio, that interpret ways of perception as action. At the end, an epistemological link is proposed based on Luiz Rufino’s and Luiz Antonio Simas’ pedagogical theories, aiming the research’s continuity starting from new movements
