Art and Yoga: experiments in a practice of freedom

Abstract

This article intends to draw some articulations between yoga’s practice and the performer’s work in the contemporaneity. One of the main goals is to reflect how hatha yoga’s practice can potentialize the artist’s work on himself in the pursuit of generating creation devices, non-subservience and, above all, freedom. The proposal is presented from reflections on three workshops and is based on the triangulation between training-process-creation and the psychophysical investigation of states of presence and attention.
