Leading And Social Dances: Embodied-Conduction

This article seeks, among practices, theoretical, artistic and pedagogical research, to speculate on aspects of leading in social dances. It seeks to discuss, by raising concepts in the making, through the experiences of Grao Companhia de Danca and in the dialogue with other artists, with the process philosophy of Manning and Massumi: what is leading in dance, where do the movements in leading begin to emerge, which are movements validated by leading, finally, to suggest aspects for a pedagogy of the leading in the social dances. In this way, through concepts such as movement-relation, body-more-than-one, events in-formation, we try to demonstrate here the complex of relations that embody the movement and that we call embodied conduction.
