Original Articles

Articles resulting from scientific research work with presentation of original data and results from experiments, quasi-experiments and/or observational aspects with philosophical, historical, sociocultural and/or pedagogical characteristics, which includes descriptive and/or inferential analysis from the collected data. The format of the article must follow the sections and subsections recognized in the scientific area: introduction (includes a description of the subject under study, summarizing or discussing the relevant previous research); methodology; analysis; discussion; and conclusion.

We also consider articles of review and/or of theoretical/ conceptual reflection. They presuppose, in addition to interpretation, a deeper analysis of a given theme, presenting critical reflections and personal impressions in a natural flow of ideas, including the interpretative references adopted, problematizing the understandings of the scientific field as currently consolidated, and elaborating original conclusions.

Connections

RED publishes, in this section, valuable materials for scholars such as interviews, biographies, testimonies, and portfolios of dancers, choreographers, and other dance professionals considered relevant.

Articles based on interviews or biographies use these sources to explore the lives and experiences of professionals or personalities in the field of dance and performing arts.

The interviews can provide valuable perspectives that directly capture the views of individuals involved in the artistic practice. They can address subjects like dance techniques, creative processes, artistic influences, and challenges faced by professionals. The interviews are conducted in a structured manner, and they may include standardized questions or follow a predetermined script.

Biographies, on the other hand, offer a more comprehensive view of the professional trajectory of a dancer or dance professional, exploring their education, career, significant contributions, and impact on dance and/or performing arts. They can analyze the historical, social, and cultural context in which these individuals developed, highlighting their major achievements and influences.

RED equally values the testimonies of dancers, choreographers, and other professionals in the field, as they share their personal and professional experiences. These narratives offer valuable insights into the challenges faced in the world of dance and the accomplishments achieved.

Additionally, RED commits to providing portfolios showcasing the work of renowned dance professionals, allowing access to concrete examples of their quality and creativity. These portfolios represent a way to visually appreciate the performances, choreographies, and contributions of these artists, enriching the understanding of dance as an artistic expression.

All articles in the Connections section undergo evaluation, review, and editing by the RED, ensuring the academic quality and relevance of the presented content.
