UM PUNTO SAIU

Dance Research
Choreographic Center, Rio de Janeiro

Um punto saiu (A point comes out) explores the relationship between dance and painting — two artistic languages I deeply love and seek to experience as a shared, interconnected practice.

The dialogue between dance and painting carries a rich artistic history that continues to inspire me: from Trisha Brown and Carolee Schneemann to Yves Klein, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, and even Andy Warhol. Inspired by these encounters between gesture and image, the work investigates archaeologies of movement that translate dance into visual traces and painting into a bodily event.

The process developed through three interconnected axes:

  1. Dance Diagrams — diagrams generated through the repetition of movements over extended durations, tracing the body’s rhythms and trajectories in space.

  2. Painting Compositions — compositions created through improvisation, where gesture, movement, and spontaneity guide the visual process.

  3. Contact Drawings — participatory drawings rooted in encounter, relation, and physical contact, exploring the collective dimension of mark-making.
