"I had a very big influence of contemporary dance, but that came from jazz itself, that allowed the creation of a movement from another, that is, you never had to imitate or reproduce the same movement always. So my jazz got a little contemporary ", evaluates the choreographer that, the following year, featured Begin, his first job in front of the new group, and now is involved in the creation of Daniel.

Helo Gouvêa complete in 2015, no less than 45 years of dedication to dancing. His passion for jazz came along with his years of Exchange with American Masters, in the middle of the years 1970 and 1980, When he traveled to America and brought to Brazil the new techniques disseminated by teachers from there.

About Daniel

In the first place, the choreographer presents seven couples to represent a birth inside out: instead of being the woman that the man, is the man who is born a woman – an allusion to the myth of Adam and Eve, that opens the possibilities of relationship between men and women. In the vision of Edy Wilson, the attraction is what guides all along these two individuals.

There is a man or woman ideal for each person? The choreographer wants to deconstruct the idea of Prince charming who comes knocking on your door. The game of seduction to promises of eternal love, from the looks of desire, the Cinderelly to amorous and sexual binges; all these phases are crossed by love, by the gushing of sentiment, but lived and experienced differently by each of the genres. "The idea of ' Prince ' or ' Princess ' is still current for many people. There is a man/woman in head, but the search for this half idealized frustrates, Why don't never takes ", explains the choreographer.

"They all feel the same desire, but with different intensities. I want to show other nuances of attitudes of desire ", Edy says Wilson. The beginning of the show also features the vocabulary of movements with which will work from then on, as the jazz dance being scored in the construction of an absolutely contemporary scene.

From there, the choreographer walks for different formations, between soils, duos and trios and, especially, sets to explore themes like the duality between man and woman, the seduction games between these two figures, the sensuality, the illusion and the ingenuity of romantic love. "This time I will go to another structure, different from what occurred in Begin where there are more solos duos, threesome ... Now build the scenes with more sets ", explains.

The costumes developed by Ursula Félix aligns with this conception. For more than ten years she served as Creative Director of the workshop of Tania Agra, who, In addition to his mother, is one of the most prestigious costume designers of costumes of classical ballet in the country. To Daniel, Ursula develops a design that gradually migrates, every scene, earthy tones to warm tones, especially the heels that the dancers bear feet – a jazzy icon par excellence.

Known for his work on music creation dedicated to contemporary dance, the musician Tamara Gattamorta, the Bodily Arts Department at Unicamp, risk for the first time in the composition to a work of jazz dance. When mixing influences, He track a path anything obvious to the genre, defying the ear of the dancers, summoned by Edy Wilson to print their individuality in every move.
