Introduction


...if you search well,
you eventually find,
not the explanation (dubious) of life,
but the poetry (inexplicable) of life


Carlos Drummond de Andrade

The studies and the research on and about the relationship between art and body conquer more and more attention and recognition from universities. Also, the request for qualified professionals in this field is growing. They are asked to work with formal or informal education, in cultural centers, hospitals, and, specially, in the so called tertiary sector. However, these activities are still considered marginal and are found in places between the areas considered serious and productive.

Body and Art in Between aims to make possible the meeting of researchers on aesthetic education and physical education, artists, philosophers, therapists, educators, and students who are interested in showing their own experiences and thinking, making possible the debate and exchange between places, that is between different fields of knowledge, between different professional areas and/or different geographical provenances.

Besides the invited lecturers and artists, we welcome the presentation of works, in the form of video posters, which are being carried out in the research on art and on body, in gymnasiums, classrooms, art studios, on the stage, in museums, in the streets, in hidden places… Although we don’t have the hope to get to definite conclusions, our aim is to give some enlightenment to the research and practice that live in the places in between and share, as the poet says, the inexplicable poetry of life.
