The OPART and the Millennium bcp Foundation are introducing a CAREER LAUNCH Award, which will recognize one of the young participants in Estúdios Victor Córdon's Territory VII Program – 2024.

Sponsored by the Millennium bcp Foundation, the Award provides support for a two-week internship, which, in this first edition, will take place at NDT 2, under a Collaboration Agreement established with OPART, E.P.E. and Estúdios Victor Córdon for this purpose.

The selected recipient will be announced at the end of the second-to-last performance of the Territory VII Program, which will take place at the Millennium Festival ao Largo on July 31, 2024.

Territorio VII

_Territory_ is a program dedicated to young dancers aged between 14 and 18 from dance schools all over the country. Every year the program welcomes internationally renowned choreographers who share their works and creative processes with the group of young people selected for each edition.  

Over the course of its many editions, _Territory_ has welcomed more than 80 young dancers from across the country, coming from nearly 40 dance schools in over 30 Portuguese cities.

In 2024, and in line with the other programs of this season, we propose a show that hints at possible new paths for contemporary dance. On the one hand, we have invited the renowned British-Bangladeshi choreographer Akram Khan, who, by incorporating elements of classical Indian Kathak dance into his works, contributes to redefining our idea of what dance is. On the other hand, EVC will welcome Jermaine Spivey, an emerging American choreographer who, alongside a brilliant career as a dancer, actively promotes the possibility of collaborative practice in his creative processes.

_Territory VII_ will also feature a film by director João Sanchez, winner of the Território | Estúdios Victor Córdon award for Best Portuguese Director from InShadow - Lisbon ScreenDance Festival 2023. 


TERRITORY VII

MILLENNIUM BCP FOUNDATION TERRITORY AWARD

Wording Dances presents a series of episodes, both in english and portuguese, where renowned artists from the international contemporary dance scene discuss matters which make of dancing and choreographing an inexhaustible terrain of experimentation, problematization and thinking. 

In a co-production between Estúdios Victor Córdon and Parasita Association, it is curated by Carlos Manuel Oliveira. 

In this new episode of Wording Dances, we invited Ana Borralho and João Galante to write and read us a text entitled “Dark Room”. 

Borralho and Galante work together on their own performance, dance, installation, photography, sound and video art projects, which they present all around the world. They met when they were studying visual arts at the Ar.Co, in Lisbon, and in the 90s they worked regularly together as actors/co‑creators in the theater group OLHO in Cacilhas/Almada. They co-founded the non-musicians band Jimmie Durham and the cultural association casaBranca, they were co-curators of the Electrolegos electronic music festival in Lagos, and they direct the Verão Azul festival in Lagos and Loulé. They live and work in Lisbon and Lagos.

The _Wording Dances_ podcast proposes a lecture series where renowned artists from the international contemporary dance scene discuss matters which make of dancing and choreographing an inexhaustible terrain of experimentation, problematization and thinking. Curated by Carlos Manuel Oliveira, it is a co-production between EVC and Parasita Association.

Alongside the singularity of each artist's work, lines of thought will be exposed in relation to politics in dance, social choreography, the relationship between dance and language, creative processes and their respective products, or even in relation to the cognition of corporealities. By posing questions such as _What can choreographic thinking do?_, we hope to summon up unique answers, based on what each artist is most dedicated to. In short, the word is given to those who dance and make others dance, but who also question dance and make others think.

FALAR AS DANÇAS ● WORDING DANCES

Wording Dances ⏤ Ep. 6 with Ana Borralho & João Galante

A body that listens. What can a body do? What can a listening body do? It listens to Prokofiev and listens to itself. A fleeing body. A body having fugitive visions. Phantasmagoria. The flight of bodies. What’s the point of fleeing? Where to search. Where to listen from. From the fog. A body of gas.

"Escuta fugitiva", de Abel Rojo e Edgar Ariel

With the aim of supporting independent artistic creation, this program welcomes creators in the field of dance and other areas of artistic intersection, at national and international level, for a maximum period of two weeks.

Applications are accepted continuously and residencies are scheduled in our calendar on a first-come, first-served basis. Since their beginnings, the EVC have been a space where multiple languages coexist, responding in direct proportion to the needs of the artistic community.

Escuta fugitiva ― Abel Rojo and Edgar Ariel

Now in its 7th edition, the _Território_ program, dedicated to young dancers aged between 14 and 18 from dance schools all over the country, annually welcomes internationally renowned choreographers who share their works and creative processes with the group of young people selected for each edition.  

Inviting an established choreographer and an emerging choreographer to lead the program, this year we welcome Akram Khan and Jermaine Spivey. The participants will dance an excerpt from Akram Khan's iconic _Kaash_, and Jermaine Spivey will create a new piece. In addition to the choreographies, _Territory_ will also feature a film by director João Sanchez, winner of the Território | Estúdios Victor Córdon award for Best Portuguese Director from InShadow - Lisbon ScreenDance Festival 2023. 

Throughout the creation and learning process, the dancers who take part have the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge and aesthetic vision of the guest choreographers, in a professionalizing experience that fosters a diverse and inclusive outlook.

###### About Kaash
##### World premiere: March 28, 2002 at the Maison des Arts de Créteil (France)
##### Originally, Akram Khan teamed up with visual artist Anish Kapoor and composer Nitin Sawhney to explore aspects of the Hindu God Shiva, his cosmic violence, his meditative nature, and the eternal cycle of creation and destruction he initiates. They created Kaash, which in Hindi means ‘if only’, drawing on a fluid and powerful dialogue between the worlds of contemporary dance and the Indian classical dance form kathak. They created multiple universes from infinite possibilities, between black holes and Indian time cycles, theoretical physics and Hindu mythology.

Territory VII – CREATION

Territory Program at the 16th Millennium Festival ao Largo

Now in its seventh edition, the Young Composers Program continues to promote a collaborative spirit and foster interactions between artists in creative processes, this time focusing on Music Composition, Writing and Choreography.

Throughout its existence, several composers, choreographers, writers, visual artists, directors, stage directors, instrumentalists, singers, dancers and actors/actresses have participated in the program. From here, many other collaborations have emerged between these artists, who, outside the context of the program, have started joint projects and consolidated their own professional careers.

Since the first edition of Young Composers, the program has developed a number of partnerships and collaborations with higher education institutions and groups of professionals at the start of their careers, including Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa, Escola Superior de Dança, Escola Superior de Artes e Design das Caldas da Rainha, Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espetáculo do Porto, the Concrète [Lab] Ensemble and Ar.Co - Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual.


Young Composers

At Home is a space dedicated to dance artists who, throughout the year, are invited to develop their projects at the EVC and make them their creative home. After having been introduced to the work of Miguel Moreira, João dos Santos Martins, Jonas & Lander, Marlene Monteiro Freitas and Victor Hugo Pontes in previous years, in 2024 we welcome Teresa Silva, who will show us her work in all its facets and different formats.

Over the course of a year, various projects by her or in collaboration with others will be developed at the EVC.

Teresa Silva (Lisbon, 1988) has dedicated herself to research, creation and performing in the fields of contemporary dance and performance since 2008. She sees dance as something that goes beyond the physical body, resulting in a work of attentiveness and sensitivity, as well as a multidisciplinary approach to movement.

The artist will bring to the EVC a series of very different proposals, in collaboration with Sara Anjo, David Marques, Kristina Norman, Mathieu Bouvier and Loic Touzé, among others.

_Oráculo expandido [“Expanded oracle”] - towards an investigation into practices of care, attention and connection_
Since 2017, Sara Anjo and Teresa Silva have been researching the potential of the body as a place of knowledge and revelation, and have designed workshops and created a piece based on the premise “can the body be an oracle?” There is a great diversity of people who share a curiosity for practices aimed at a holistic awareness of the body and _Oráculo expandido_ is an invitation to continue this research, opening it up to other people and expanding the research to other languages, practices and perspectives. 

_Fazer falar o fazer [“Making the doing speak”] - tools for creating speech about artistic practices_
This project, conceived and developed by David Marques and Teresa Silva, arises from the desire to make the work of their generation more visible and to bring the community together around the issues that move and engage them in their artistic practices. In this sense, the artists will develop different tools to encourage thinking, speaking and listening, and provide encounters between artists and between the artists and the audience.

_Carnation_
After collaborating on _Orchidelirium - An appetite for Abundance_, a project presented at the Venice Biennale (2022), Estonian visual artist Kristina Norman has partnered with Teresa Silva to conceive a new piece. This time, the artists use the red carnation as a symbol of power and freedom, seeking to bring into dialogue the culture and history of their respective countries.

_Ah! - Experimental sessions for a transformative artistic practice_
In this project led by Teresa Silva, the artist aims to show how artistic practice generates states of attention, self-knowledge and transformation that intensify the human being’s potential. In these individual sessions, each person will be invited to look at what affects them in the present moment and, from there, work together on a sensitive and experimental path, intersecting the artistic and therapeutic fields.

To prepare the sessions, Teresa Silva draws on her research with Sara Anjo around the question "can the body be an oracle?" and finds inspiration in the work of artists such as Anna Halprin, Lygia Clark (Relational Objects), Alejandro Jodorowsky (Psychomagic) and Valentina Desideri (Fake Art Therapy), who have made and continue to make their artistic practice into places of affection, ritual and healing.


At Home ⏤ Teresa Silva

This is a program dedicated to migrant communities living in Portugal. Based on the study of their respective cultures, we propose creating materials and art works that can be shared and promote public interaction. Despite the relative physical proximity of all of us living here, these are communities that often remain on the fringes of society, which makes them potential targets for exclusion and social discrimination as a result of such isolation.

The program, which involves cyclically choosing a target country, aims to highlight that country's culture through the gaze of a dance creator. In its first edition, Iran was chosen as the country of focus. To make this challenging undertaking a reality, we invited choreographer Clara Andermatt, who will create a piece founded in the cultural heritage of Iran, and which is to be developed in close contact with the Iranian community in Portugal. With the first phase of the project’s development having already started in 2023, the creative process will be carried out in 2024 and the premiere will happen in January 2025, to be followed by other scheduled presentations of the new work. 

Also part of the program is an initiative called Ir à escola [“reaching out the schools”], which aims to make the culture and life situations of people from Iran known to youth school groups across the country in the form of talks and short performances.

We believe that this way of “introducing and letting people in” the cultural heritage of another country, developed in close connection with its immigrant community in our country, can actively contribute to a stronger presence of Other Worlds in Portugal.

Other Worlds  ⏤ Iran

The entrance to the EVC building has become an exhibition space, welcoming proposals on an ongoing basis by visual artists whose work has a connection to performing arts in general and dance in particular. This year, we welcome a curatorial idea by choreographer Carlota Lagido, who invited three dance artists who have a strong connection to the visual arts -  Luís Guerra, João Galante and Elizabete Francisca - and an exhibition by Guilherme Gouveia, who will show us the result of the photography residency he undertook at the EVC in 2023.

Following Miguel Moreira, João dos Santos Martins and Jonas&Lander, this time EVC welcomes Marlene Monteiro Freitas to be EVC’s 2022 season AT HOME artist.

The program provides a continuous workspace, giving each artist the freedom to use the various facilities of the Estúdios for artistic creation projects and any other initiatives they develop.

###### Marlene Monteiro Freitas 
She was born in São Vicente, Cabo Verde, where she was co-founder of the dance group Compass. She studied at P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels), at E.S.D. and at Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisbon). She worked with Emmanuelle Huynn, Loic Touzé, Tânia Carvalho, Boris Charmatz, among others. She created the works _ÔSS_ (2022), _Ri te / Paris Intermission_, in collaboration with Israel Galván (2022), _Bacchae - Prelude to a purge_ (2017), _Jaguar_, in collaboration with Andreas Merk (2015), _Of ivory and flesh - statues also suffer_ (2014); _Paradise - private collection_ (2012-13); _(M)imosa_ (2011), a project developed with Trajal Harell, François Chaignaud and Cecilia Bengolea; _Guintche _(2010); _A Seriedade do Animal_ (2009-10); _A Improbabilidade da Certeza_ (2006);_ Larvar_ (2006); and _Primeira Impressão_ (2005). The common denominator of these works is openness, impurity and intensity. In 2017, the Portuguese Society of Authors (SPA) awarded _Jaguar_ the prize for best choreography. In the same year, the artist was honored by the Government of Cape Verde for her cultural achievements. In 2018, the Venice Biennale awarded Marlene Monteiro Freitas the Silver Lion in the Dance category, and, in 2021, the artist was awarded the Chanel Next Prize in its first edition. In 2022, as part of the Portugal-France Crossed Season, the Festival d'Automne à Paris dedicates a cycle to the artist's work, presenting a vast retrospective and two new creations. She is co-founder of P.OR.K, a production structure based in Lisbon, and has an ongoing collaboration with O Espaço do Tempo (PT).
