ECOSYSTEM.dances.bodies is a project by Ordem do O in co-production with EVC, in the context of the Season Partners program.
Let's take dances. But which dances, we ask? Let's take bodies. But which bodies, we ask? Let's take multiplicity.
ECO.ntro #1 - "Looking, peripheral vision and action", with Joãozinho da Costa July 1st, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm, at Estúdios Victor Córdon
In the first event of ECOSYSTEM.dances.bodies, the EVC will be hosting a conference by the performer and director Joãozinho da Costa, who will also share a artistic practice or an exercise with the public on the topic of "gaze, peripheral vision and action" on stage.
ECO.story #1 - Joãozinho da Costa, Margarida Bettencourt and Daniel Matos July 1, 4-6 pm, Estúdios Victor Córdon
Moderated by Cláudia Galhós and Natacha Campos, we will be hosting a conversation between three dance artists who will share and exchange experiences and perspectives on bodies and dance (in both live and streaming formats).
ECOSYSTEM.dances.bodies is curated and moderated by Claudia Galhós and Natacha Campos, in a collaboration between Ordem do O and Estúdios Victor Córdon, and proposes a series of sessions focused on dance(s), comprising three moments: ECO.trade stories (conversations, sharing stories); ECO.ntros (sharing knowledge through a masterclass or other format, depending on the mentor); and ECO.arc documentation (the recorded conversations will be made available on Youtube, the website, Instagram and Facebook).
In this first series of sessions, artists and thinkers, with relevant careers in the field of dance or dance and body theory, are invited to talk, share their concerns, theoretical and creative processes, and artistic practices, drawing from the way each one of them expresses their identity through their work, and the places they inhabit in their intimate, societal, national and international contexts. In each session, stories are shared that reflect distinct experiences, giving due importance to the transmission and valuing those differences, which can be generational, cultural, identitary, stylistic, etc.
