"Everything started at Studio 1, at the end of 2022, in conversation with the EVC team. My audacity flared up, and I asked, in the most spontaneous and determined possible way, whether there would be a place for a young photographer. That's how the invitation came to participate in the Photography Residency program, which would consist of capturing moments of dance and practice that are part of the various activities, programs and dynamics at the EVC. This invitation proved to be a launch pad, pointing towards a more authorial language in performing arts photography, as well as an important catalyst for my professional career. Today, I am exhibiting a manifesto on the environment and movement at the EVC." — Guilherme Gouveia

The Photography Artist Residency program provides a space for photographers who want to deepen their language in the performing arts and particularly in dance. Given the specificity of a photography program, the EVC provide the perfect setting, with a wide range of activities that are very enriching for participants in this initiative. Throughout the residency, photographers have the opportunity to propose images to the EVC team and to the artists being photographed through our communication channels, in a process of constructing discourse and promoting their work.
