Interim communities between singularities: encounters of delicacy, artistic creation and difference

Abstract

This article is an outcome of the dissertation ""Poetics and marginality: the Project Cidadaos Cantantes experience"" that focused on the chorus collective experience, in the project focusing the formation of groupality, the ways of being together or coexisting, and presents an analysis of these procedures. This Project was created on 1992 in the interface of antimanicomial movement. It consists in two workshops: a scenic chorus workshop and a workshop of dance and body expression. Through the project, the authors elaborated a narrative that leads the analyses of the mentioned experience. It is understood that promoting encounters between any kind of people, with or without psychic suffering - and not grouped based on a definition or diagnosis, the project can bring people in a desiring and cooperatively manner-. Therefore, the relationships developed during the project's workshops strengthen the production of guided encounters in power, in the creation and respect for differences.
