In the late nineteenth century, modern dance emerges as a critique of modeled and disciplinar body of the academic dance. Since then, listening to the body is the condition for new ways to move: the dance is affirmed as having a logic of immanent and current forces and sensations, and a poetic attentive to the presence dimension of the moving body. The Western dance – the pioneer modern dance and the so called American postmodern – witness the gradual establishment of difference in bodies, movements and scenes; today, any movement of any body can dance. Faced with an understanding of dance scenic secularly established as synonymous with ballet, such a possibility has artistic and pedagogical implications. Here, we treat therefore the emergence of a new status of the body, as well as some poetic strategies to deflect it from the movement habits and codes contained therein. In this sense, the term device – present in different philosophical matrices – is used as key to thinking aesthetic, political and pedagogical propositions by choreographer William Forsythe, whose work indispose settings of classical ballet and the unity of its models in favor of a poetics of multiple bodies and moving modes.
