Abstract

Ventana Abierta (2020) is a video creation with dance vocabulary made during the first months of the pandemic, the final product of which is generated after a creative process carried out "remotely" between Spain and Paraguay. The autoethnographic method allows research procedures to emerge, in this case performative, combining theory and experience. Through autoethnography, try to show the adversities experienced in the creative process of said work, to inquire about the impact of the health situation of COVID-19 in the creative processes, as well as, propose possible adaptations that the new creation must have dance "at a distance"; considering that it deals with an artistic trend that uses the body of the interpreter as a language and its presence is necessary to articulate the discourse of his work. A work between bodies, which at the moment cannot touch.
