+ABOUT THE DANCE BOOK

The Dancing Book - Letters for Improvisation and Composition is a collective creation of the Women of Improvisation, aimed at those who study, research or create in the areas of dance, theater, visual arts, cinema, circus, etc., as well as the general public. There are different instructions for starting a body work; improvisation games; and proposals for improvising, composing and performing interventions in public spaces. Each of the 7 women offers 7 cards, one of which is the "joker card", which guides different ways of using and combining the cards. Enjoy!

MI - Women of Improvisation - is a connection between artist-researchers, which reflects on perception, interaction and the creation of dances in different contexts and spaces with different characteristics. It connects various fields of knowledge and artistic endeavor, such as dance, music, philosophy, performance, media art, theater, etc. Since its opening in 2020, several performative actions have been held at academic and artistic events.

Participating in Dancing Book - Letters for Improvisation and Composition are 7 researchers from different cities: Ana Mundim (Fortaleza), Carolina Natal (Rio de Janeiro), Lígia Tourinho (Rio de Janeiro), Ivani Santana (Salvador), Líria Morays (João Pessoa), Roberta Ramos (Recife) and Tania Marin Perez (Montevideo).
