The body in a state of art

This book was based on a research for the conclusion of the Bachelor's Degree in Dance at the Federal University of Viçosa where the aesthetic construction of a body for the scene was analysed, through the junction between Jacques Lecoq's Pedagogy of the Poetic Body and Rudolf Laban's Movement Analysis. In this way, the methodologies of the Seven Energy Levels of Jacques Lecoq and the Four Factors of Movement of Rudolf Laban were intertwined. Qualitative research, made through bibliographic survey, through the use of studies of Jacques Lecoq (2010) and Rudolf Laban (1978), as well as other important thinkers on the subject. The research also had practical applicability, where the relations of the Seven Levels of Energy with the Four Factors of Movement were worked out. As a conclusion, the research revealed the complementarity and compatibility of the two elements, being their joint application relevant to the universe of the dancer-interpreter and actor-creator.
