This article approaches choreographer Lia Rodrigues’ teaching practice, introducing the concept of “artist in pedagogical situation”. Using Tardif’s “teaching knowledges” category as a theoretical background and taking as observation the territory a student and artist exchange between La Manufacture and the Escola Livre da Dança da Maré, we seek to understand how this artist articulates artistic and pedagogical knowledges. We conclude that for her there is a communication process between teaching and creating.
