Michelle Moura and Sara Anjo are seeking 8 performers who identify as women to workshop their choreographic project, Nós aqui neste passinho. They are interested in performers who are experiencing transitions (country, maternity, gender, profession, or others) and resistance in their lives. The workshop will take place at Estúdios Victor Cordon and in public spaces in Lisbon. All participants will receive a meal allowance.
How are we choreographed by political and social changes? How are we choreographed by geography, by culture, and by public space? What actions generate change, freedom, or create new realities? During the workshop we will explore notions of collectivity, autonomy, occupation of public space, and proximity to the audience.
Nós aqui neste passinho is a choreographic project that began in 2018 with a workshop during Festival Fiar in Palmela. It continues now in collaboration with Beatriz Dias, Clarissa Rego, Louisa Cascon, Nina Botkay, and 8 guest performers.
