According to the concepts of Body Politics and Embodied Ethics, which I have analyzed in this master paper, our beliefs are created by our sociological and biological influences and are the most visible through body language. Following the ideas of Doctor Beatrice Allegranti, 'when bodies are in motion, the specificity of relation between different social roles, which we identify with, can become visible'. In this master paper I discuss how knowledge from the perspective of Body Politics can improve teaching practice in the fields of contemporary dance and capoeira. I am changing the context of Body Politics inside the dance and capoeira pedagogy. I am describe the tool which I use in order to avoid differentiation in the class, which is caused by the fact that the group is formed of students who have different autobiographical stories, and are from different cultures.
Through this master paper I wanted to ask: How much are our behaviors, patterns of moving and beliefs already projected by the environment where we grew up? How much are we aware about the fact that those influences command our behavior and our movement patterns often without our freewill? How much of the fact that we like or dislike somebody is not really our choice, but is actually dictated by the beliefs of our society and culture? How much does the issue of gender influence our performance behavior towards others? Is there any way that we can stop playing stereotypical roles over and over again? In which way the knowledge about the Body Politics and Embodied Ethics can be applied in the dance and capoeira pedagogy? And finally are we able to re- shape and recontruct our habitual behaviour, our movement patterns and our way of relating and performing towards oneself and towards the others?
