CRESPO, Fernando. A força da gravidade e a origem do movimento. []. , 38, pp.81-99.   21--2021. ISSN 2182-4452.  https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2020.38/pp.81-99.

In the center of a performing action we find the relation established between body and gravity force. The resistance or surrender to this force, the investigation of its power over movement and the presence of gravitational illusion in other multidisciplinary artistic productions are the reasons for this study/reflection.We will explore the moments when the body raises and moves or find orientation, precisely when it resists gravity, when it negotiates with the force or when it becomes aware of its own proprioception. In the diversity of support surfaces - where the body rests, grabs, hangs, jumps or slides - we find a creative potential resulting from the relation of resistance towards the gravity force established by the body with these surfaces, in a precise moment. We will also present the surrounding means that have the potential to radically transform movement and its relation with gravity. Finally, we will return to the body and its core where we will find movement’s primordial impulse.
