Moving along Transitions: LMA and Authentic Movement in Inter-art Performance
FERREIRA REIS, Andreia Maria - Brasil

This study associates Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis-LMA and Authentic Movement technique to create a performance grounded in the body, its movement principles and images. Following the model of the Moebius Band, this research connects inner/outer in the performer´s body during the creative process, extensive to performance (understood as an on-going process). Inner/outer implies the dynamic continuum between Body and Space (connected through Shape and Effort), and between mover and observer (in Authentic Movement). Dance Theatre techniques were also used as compositional tools, especially regarding the constant interplay between the arts. For this reason, the process included dancers, actors and fine artists, all of them working at both practical and theoretical levels (at university).



Andreia Maria Ferreira Reis holds a B.A. in Physical Education from State University of São Paulo, and an M.A. in Performing Art from Federal University of Bahia, where she has been studying LMA under Professor Ciane Fernandes, CMA. Since childhood, she has studied theater and classical ballet, recently integrating them in performances at SESI (Social Service of Industries), São Paulo.
