El cuerpo femenino en la danza: escritura de mujer

Inspired by the creators of modern dance –women who set out from the self, from their personal experience, making their strength out of it, creating authority- I have wanted, in this text, to link together my practice and experience of gestural theatre, inscribed on my woman’s body, and dance, an art practised by many more women, and men. The article presents dance as a place of freedom that women have found, a cultural space from where to create their meaning, where to express something of their own through themes that are close to an experience of feminine life, through the bodies and texts of women. Dancing, the dancer uses her body –her work tool- as her word creating a language of its own. There comes about a movement of life that comes close to poetry, where the divine slips over language, and putting itself into action, opens up a territory where practice can give rise to theory.
