RESUMO

The work presents several different axis of investigation performed by a doctoral research on the life of Denise Stutz, Brazilian dancer who remains actively performing since the 1970s until the present days. The perspective of this research focuses on the experiences of this ballerina throughout her multiple poetic paths - her moments of formation, transformation and affirmation through dance. The methodological procedure adopted was the selection, with an analytical approach, of oral narratives through the transcreation (MEIHY, 2005) of her stories that were brought to life in recorded statements at times of recollection, and through narratives drawn from six scenic spectacles chosen as reference works (Mary, Mary, Folia, Do not Look Now; Homo politicus; three soils at a time and a fair picture: Letters and processes). The speech and movements of Denise Stutz were revealed during the narrative opposing the voice with the body, resulting in written text and imagery of a life in dance. We observe that this ballerina s body was formed by extensive references - classical ballet, modern dance, street drama, butoh, improvisation - going from moments of belonging to groups, dance companies and art groups, as well as solo projects. By investigating this path one may realize the different aesthetic and political choices made by this body when dancing and also one can reflect on the reorganization of contemporary dance s environment in relation to the scene and to the assignment of roles and forms of creation. Denise Stutz s transformations reflect her self-affirmation as a ballerina and also present her dance as a form of production of meaning and expression of life.
