Artistic Residency 3 - 11 September, Campus Jardim das Pedras | Aldeia Artística do Feital, Feital/Portugal

Public Presentation 11 September at 6.30pm, Jardim das Pedras | Aldeia Artística do Feital, Feital/Portugal

hosted and supported by Associação Luzlinar in the frame of Projecto Pontes

As in past projects (GIAPAC - Informal Group of Analysis, Research and Choreographic Support, Rumo Meetings and Laboratory of Research and Choreographic Creation), at O Rumo do Fumo there has always been a desire to keep a privileged space for reflection, research and mapping of studies and deepening of knowledge regarding artistic composition and creation, which would fill some of the perceived shortcomings in the performative environment in Portugal. To pursue research in a professional environment and to create links between professionals of several generations with different experiences and work that, otherwise, would not meet in a common project.

O Rumo do Fumo's Research Group is in residency during an intensive week at Artistic Village of Feital, as part of the Research and Artistic Creation Projects promoted by Luzlinar, to expose and share interests, perspectives, needs, desires as well as difficulties and anxieties, and to elaborate practical proposals to deepen or overcome them, taking advantage of the presence of all and the added value of each.

Participants are Joclécio Azevedo, Luís Guerra, Marta Ramos, Miguel Pereira and Tita Maravilha, under the guidance of Henrique Furtado Vieira.

At the end of the residency a public informal presentation will take place, with the goal to share with the local community some of the principles and results of the group's activity, and also to give the opportunity to interact individually with a group of artists that belongs to the active artistic community of contemporary Portuguese dance.
