Audiovisual e dança: hibridismo das artes e suas aproximações pós pandemia

Abstract

Dance, as an intermedial art, proposes discussions and studies about its relationship with theater, cinema, and visual arts. Videodance emerges as a border language, the result of the exchange between dance and cinema, which, in addition to bringing these two arts closer, creates a space for experimentation and new forms of making hybrid art, born from the convergence of these two major fields. With globalization and the expansion of the internet and social media, the relationships between the arts and technologies have become a relevant theme in the studies of the field, especially regarding the production, distribution, and consumption of audiovisual goods. This research aims, through bibliographic analysis and semi-structured interviews, to broaden the discussions about videodance during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting on the issues pertinent to this hybrid universe of the arts, particularly between cinema/audiovisual and dance. The investigation seeks to understand, through artists who experience artistic productions for and with dance and audiovisual, how the relationship between dance and video unfolded during the pandemic period, as well as the transformations provoked by this interaction. The study also aims to outline the paths of this hybridization of the arts in the current scenario, deepening the knowledge about cinema/audiovisual and its relations with dance, and understanding how dance artists sought to create, produce, and exhibit their works in virtual spaces and on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Interviews were conducted with Leonel Brum, director of the Dança em Foco Festival, professor, and videodance researcher; Cecília Cherem, Bruno Psi, dance artists, and members of the Grupo NUN from Juiz de Fora/MG; and Mayara Alvim, artist, professor, and researcher, who worked with videodance during the pandemic, producing the dance film or short film "Pra tirar você da chuva" ("To Take You Out of the Rain"). It is still not possible to clearly define the paths that the arts, especially videodance, will follow in the future. However, it is evident, through the countless videos available on various platforms and social networks, that the relationship between dance and audiovisual was impacted by the pandemic. Practices have adapted to new media and continue to transform. The languages tend to mix, hybridize, and deconstruct concepts, as artists experiment and create with the language of video.
