This text, methodologically grounded in Artistic Research (BORGDORFF, 2017; NELSON, 2022), presents an introductory reflection on the relationship between somatic practices —especially the Feldenkrais Method and Eutony— and free improvisation in music, based on the author’s experience as a cellist and improviser. Embedded in a doctoral project at UFMG, the work investigates how bodily awareness and reorganization can expand the musician’s expressive possibilities, generating new sonic and gestural materialities. The study is guided by the following questions: how can established bodily habits be deconstructed to discover non-habitual forms of action? To what extent can somatic practices transform the physical and mental reference points involved in the improvisatory process? The presentation includes an improvised performance based on the poem “O corpo,” by Arnaldo Antunes.
Este texto, metodologicamente inscrito na Pesquisa Artística (BORGDORFF, 2017; NELSON, 2022), apresenta uma reflexão introdutória sobre a relação entre as práticas somáticas —especialmente o Método Feldenkrais e a Eutonia— e a improvisação livre em música, a partir da experiência do autor como violoncelista e improvisador. Inserido em um projeto de doutorado na UFMG, o trabalho investiga como a consciência e a reorganização corporal podem ampliar as possibilidades expressivas do músico, gerando novas materialidades sonoras e gestuais. Orientam o estudo as perguntas: como desconstruir hábitos corporais para descobrir formas de ação não habituais? Em que medida as práticas somáticas podem transformar referenciais físicos e mentais no processo improvisatório? A apresentação inclui uma performance improvisada baseada no poema “O corpo”, de Arnaldo Antunes.
