Capoeira também é para mulheres : projeto de documentário sobre a presença feminina nas rodas de capoeira de Cuiabá-MT

Abstract

This paper consists on the development of a documentary project entitled “Capoeira is also for women”, that intends to pay attention to stories and experiences shared by the first Female Capoeira Master in the state of Mato Grosso-Brazil, Valdinete Pereira de Souza (better known as Coral). Based on Valdinete's trajectory, the documentary project intends to bring up the discussion about the participation of women in capoeira spaces (these spaces are still largely associated with strong male presence and leadershipand). To present this paper and documentary project, we recurred to bibliographical, documental and filmographic research around issues related to the universe of Capoeira and documentary. In parallel, we seek to meet and interact with the protagonist of the project, Mestre Coral, who, in the documentary project, through the documentary project, shares memories and experiences related to the universe of capoeira. Our choise on formal and relational approach strategies for the documentary project was made based on expressive procedures from north-american author Bill Nichols documentary modes typology. As the final result of our paper and project we present the script structure for the documentary “Capoeira is also for women”.
