2022 • Encounter | Performing arts event in Santa Maria da Feira.
Produced and curated by Ballet Contemporâneo do Norte, Encontro de Artes Performativas brings an eclectic group of dance, performance, and theater professionals, pedagogues, and thinkers to the city of Santa Maria da Feira. The event offers collegial cooperation and the opportunity for the local public to get to know different forms of culture. Various performances, presentations of works in progress, workshops, exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and residencies in different parts of the city create new forms of encounter between the public and contemporary art.
The program aims to combine artistic practices, research, pedagogy, and curation and invite the views of representatives of scientific, philosophical, and anthroposociological thinking. The concept goes back to 2020 when Ballet Contemporâneo do Norte launched the (Re=)Iniciação project, which aimed to face the financial difficulties of the art industry caused by the first wave of the pandemic. As a result of the search, a group of artists and researchers from different artistic areas were selected, who produced and presented performative works designed for the online platform.
☁️ For the Re=Iniciar — Encontro de Artes Performativas, I designed a visual look, program brochure, and online materials and participated in organizing the event.
