Rastreando a dança que se faz (n)o salto alto

uma entrevista sobre Heels com Pedro Reis

Abstract

This is a transcript of the interview with the artist Pedro Reis, dancer and choreographer responsible for the increasing visibility of Heels – a dance characterized by the use of high heels – in the Brazilian art scene. In view of the exponent insertion of Heels in the contexts of non-formal dance teaching in Brazil, the initial interest of this conversation was based on the mapping of information referring to historicity, epistemological influences and understandings of body and dance technique linked to this style, since we are dealing with a contemporary artistic expression that has no published academic records. In this way, this interview aims to contribute to future research in the field of Arts and Education, which are interested in discussions related to dance that is done in high heels.
