Language Overflows: Scenic Dance in Bento Gonçalves

Abstract

This article investigates the problematization between dance and writing, focusing on scenic dance in the city of Bento Gonçalves and its records preserved in the municipal museum. It also proposes a reflection on the understanding of a possible overflow of language by exploring possibilities regarding different proposals and modes of inscription in scenic dance writing as an archive. In its corpus, the study presents a set of reflections on language, dance, writing, and heritage with the aim of introducing other understandings about forms of inscription in dance writing and about dance as an archive.
