Between art and education, body in action

Abstract

In this text I present the investigations I have been developing in order to propose a survey and teaching methodology based on the expressive qualities of the bodies. For most, I point out the relation between creativity and knowledge production as a way to give thought to pedagogical practices that can embrace different fields of knowledge and wisdom, having as central focus the expressive qualities of the body. Following, I am going to make a short presentation of some elements related to contemporary arts, more specifically, the performances and the new conceptions about corporeity. And lastly, I am going to present the processes and the research results that I have made with sex workers, while I worked with a Research and Extension in Sex Work at Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). Herewith, I intend to present relations among creativity, knowledge production and the body which may contribute with the methodological processes related to aesthetic education.
