Bonnie Cohen's approach to somatic education brings a relational perspective between the presence and the place of space that is very interesting from the moment of the birth of the fetus in the mother's belly and throughout human development. I intend to share the work developed from the somatic approach and explain the procedures that involved the 8 and 9 year old children in the materialization of the study processes in dance at the moment of isolation and the change of the proposal from actual presence teaching to remote teaching. The study of movement took place at Escola Viva in São Paulo, and the points to be addressed in this reflection are the quality of the children's participation within the context mediated by computer screens; the production of presence from the statements that summoned the body to a clash of aesthetic experience; and finally the body composition created within the pandemic context. The intention is to look at the intricacies and transformations of the perception of the body itself, trying to answer the investigative questions: How does the spatial relationship, the inside and outside, take on other dimensions and new possibilities in the face of this new context; and in what ways did the performative programs and instructions influence both children and families to look at and perceive the body from a different perspective? The purpose is not to find out what we have gained or lost with the proposal of the study of movement in remote education, but to recognize what we have achieved and what we have accomplished in the new perception of the inside and outside. In this sense, the reflection is given by looking at the videos and images produced that showed the children's appropriation of their own bodies and the experimentation in the space through the study of movements and body sensitization. The idea is to dwell on the instructions that involved the students in the making, to research the body and the interfaces of the metaphors that involved them in this process. A conversation between movement metaphors and bodily expressions that followed composing the year 2020.
