The Cycle of Lectures and the Round of Talks are meeting spaces for artists and researchers of dance, writing, performing arts and body studies, which take place at the Youtube Channel Celeiro Moebius. The proposal is to talk about the thoughts and practices that involve the processes of artistic creation in the relationship between body and word.
What is the implication of the body in the act of writing? Is it possible to write while we move? What are the perceived affects between reason and sensibility? How can the poetry of the body interfere in the creative act? These are some of the questions that open up a field of conversation, and that resonate with the research interests of Body Word Lab.

#Ana Paula Bouzas is an actress, dancer, choreographer and movement director.
The relationship of intensive forces in the transits of the word and the movement to open states of presence in the scenic construction are elements present in the provocations that Bouzas brings us. In their experience, the collective experienced body expressiveness and syllabic sound in a state of disgust for each word. Pedro Sá Moraes is a singer, composer, actor and researcher at Teatro Canção.
The experience that brought us led the collective to connect movement and voice based on the qualities of water, earth, air and fire, simultaneously articulating tone, rhythm, speed and tone. During the experience we were able to try compositions, which we had already opened in our creation journey, with other connections of breathing and body movement.
