Performance e formação de professores: troco doces por doces sonhos

Abstract

This work was born from the dream of building an Early Childhood Education that respects the needs of young children to move, play, create, reinvent and express themselves creatively. Inspired by a contemporary art exhibition, by the Art and Movement classes of the Pedagogy course, the research question − “can performance art contribute to the education of teachers of young children? If so, in what ways?” − generated the objective of understanding what contributions contemporary art can have, especially performance art, for the education of Early Childhood Education teachers. Having defined the research problem and the main objective, the methodology was configured as research into artistic practice (research in or through the arts) associated with bibliographic research. The mixed methodological approach made the research process and analyzed experiences of performances carried out by the author from 2014 to 2017, inspired by the performance “Troco Sonhos” by artist Ana Teixeira, more significant.
