Body and identity in the performance space with Miguel Pereira / O Rumo do Fumo
The purpose of this workshop is to share methodologies, experiences and reflections on the identity and representation of the body in the theatrical space. It’s open to participants from all areas and backgrounds, professional and non-professional, with different levels of experience, who seek new possibilities of creation and composition in dance / performance / theatre. This workshop is also an opportunity to network, develop new affinities and / or deepen working relationships for future collaborations.
The search for and identification of an artistic identity is something that moves me, assuming it as an enhancing space, fluctuating and unstable at the same time, that allows us to question our own limits. I am interested in expanding the possibilities of the body and mind in confrontation with the world around us, allowing the creation of new perspectives and reflections on what we are and what we are not, revealing powers that might be hidden.
