Cuerpo e Imagen: Didáctica pedagógica para la plástica en movimiento

Abstract

The myth of Salome's dance has fascinated artists from many different disciplines throughout history. Salomé has reinterpreted herself ad nauseam and changed her discourse depending on the historical period in which it was performed. At first, in the biblical version, the figure of Salome was practically exculpated and the blame fell on her mother; a true conspirator and architect of the beheading of St. John the Baptist. Later on, writers, painters, sculptors and composers of extraordinary importance would be in charge of transforming the myth of Salome, taking it to the top thanks to the interconnection of the different artistic expressions; transmuting it into a universal symbol of "femme fatale"; cradle of eroticism, sensuality, empowerment of women... The role of dance in the creation of the myth and how it has untiringly and conclusively influenced the plastic arts is undeniable. And therefore this research addresses the importance of the implementation of pedagogical projects that try to carry out the learning of the plastic arts through the body. The body, not only as a channel, but as an artistic work in itself. In short, "our body and what it represents, is what the world represents for us, how we live it and how we feel it". A courageous approach in which the body is conceived as an instrument that, knowing it in depth and doing a work of deep introspection, has the capacity to act as a catalyst of emotions and artistic support, capable of modifying and transforming society by creating a better world for everyone. For this to happen it is of vital importance to know in depth the secrets of body language, which is essential to be able to access knowledge in a more organic, intuitive and direct way. First in a symbolic way and then to be able to move on to abstract thinking.
