The
project aims to investigate the writing as part of the creative
thinking of the dance, in site specific contexts and it was developed
around two central axes, namely: on the one hand, analyzing and
reflecting on the way how the know of the writing can interfere in the
creative processes in dance and on the other hand, experiencing the
dificulty of the translation of the act of choreographic creation into
another language, allowing to read on the layers of a 'phármakonised'
body the duplicity of meaning, the ambiguity and the possibility of
generating a body written in itself, or in other words: "(...) . instead
of something distinguished from something else, imagine something which
distinguishes itself – and yet ... though it were distinguishing itself
from that which does not distinguish itself from it"(Deleuze .1968, p.
81) - medicine and poison.
