Real Time Composition, João Fiadeiro / Forum Dança

21 June, 2023

Workshop I
CTR

Introduction to the Real Time Composition practice

21 to 25 of August

It is a “practical” workshop, in the sense that it will be through experimentation that the attendees will access the premises and principles that guide this proposal, but the transmission will be made in a “frame by frame” mode, privileging the detail and the specificity of each tool-concept that sustains the doing-thinking of Real Time Composition.

In this regard there will be a special care and attention to the multiple dimensions that compose the body of work of this way of operating, isolating each of its valences through situated exercises (that underline certain aspects of its composition); the presentation and discussion of examples (via videos from the archive and works by other artist-researchers); and diagrams that translate through graphics the way Real Time Composition manifests itself.

João Fiadeiro

João Fiadeiro © Ana Viotti

João Fiadeiro (1965) is a Portuguese performer, choreographer, researcher, teacher and curator.

He belongs to the generation of artists who emerged in the late eighties in Portugal and gave rise to the New Portuguese Dance movement.

In the 90’ João Fiadeiro studied and practiced intensively Contact-Improvisation which led him to pursue and systematize his own research on improvisation under the designation of Real Time Composition. This research has led him to coordinate workshops in Masters and PhDs programs in several schools and universities throughout the world.

He has toured extensively throughout Europe, North America and South America with his solo and group works.

His path, whether as a choreographer or performer, as a researcher or curator, was centered on creating conditions for experimentation, laboratory practice and interdisciplinary intersection.

This activity was carried out both as part of the management of programming and artistic research projects, which included the Malaposta Cultural Center (1990-95), Espaço Ginjal (1995-1998), Lugar Comum (1999-2000), Espaço A Capital (2000-2002) and by Atelier Re.AL (2004-2019), as well as within the framework of his artistic practice, through creations and research workshops organized around Real Time Composition.

Atelier Re.AL was a structure that played a major role in the development of contemporary dance and transdisciplinary initiatives in Portugal.

On all these different meeting platforms, João Fiadeiro was always accompanied by artists who actively participated as creators, performers, researchers and programmers, making a decisive contribution to the existence of this project during 30 years of uninterrupted activity.

Performers: Carolina Campos and Daniel Pizamiglio

O Protesto
de Eduarda Lima

The birds stopped singing. The cats no longer meowed. And the cows refused to give milk. The animals seemed to have made a pact…

Eduarda Lima’s debut album, O PROTESTO is a silent scream. From the tiny insects to the pets at home, from the virgin forest to our city’s river, silence echoes everywhere. Can you hear? This is a story and a call to unite today against pollution and waste, and to sow what others will later reap.

O Protesto, by Eduarda Lima, already has two editions. It was awarded with the following prizes:

NATIONAL ILLUSTRATION AWARD 2021 | Special Mention
BIG ACQUISITION AWARD 2021 | Guimarães Illustration Biennial

PACAP 7
2024

Performing Arts Advanced Programme

Curated by Miguel Pereira and Nuno Lucas

From 7th of February 2024 to 23rd of July 2024

APPLICATIONS CLOSED

Until 31st of July 2023 | Extension of applications until September 10

Introduction

We consider that having time for studying is a privileged moment that allows us to experimentat and reflect upon artistic practises. Our intent is that this experience creates a space for sharing, learning, meeting and research, beeing a possibilty for new connections and creating new ties.

In this programme we intend to plunge into some core principles that guide our artistical pratice: working on performativity skills and stage presence, the urgency and discipline in the act of artistic creation, the relationship between entertainment and reflection, composition and dramaturgy as central axes in the construction of a work and the crossing between different artistic disciplines. We will be present throughout the duration of the all programme and at the same time we will count with the cumplicity of a wide range of artists, that have influenced our paths, and who will contribute with new perspectives and that will enrich this experience.

The focus of the programme is in the process and in the encounters that it can create, with a view to creating a space where artistic relationships expand and influence our identity. To promote a creative experience in an expanded period of time that allows each person to consolidate their needs and discover new impulses that will feed each future artistic project. Without undermining the importance of (a) public performances and the sharing of one’s work, as an inherent and necessary gesture of artistic practice, we want to nurture a space of reflection and experimentation, to reconsider the way we see what we do and how we do it.

Collaboration is one of the fundamental foundations of our work, as such we also intend to propose different forms of artistic collaboration, defying the need for the individual signature in favour of the place of the “other”. The one that challenges us, confronts and compels us to look at things from a different point of view. We will also promote the circularity of roles inside of an artistical process by consciously beeing able to play different roles in it (dramaturg, assistant, performer, producer, etc).

A programme that lasts six months is inevitably a compact format. We believe that this will be a countainer of possibilities that will reveal some of them during the duration of the course, but as well to create a resonance that goes beyond that time. Sometimes experiences are not immediately digested and because of that our priority is to create a community of action and thinking, one that defies the finite time that this programme allows.

Outline

Introduction: Forum Dança, Lisbon – 3 days
Residency: O Espaço do Tempo, Montemor-o-novo – 1 week
First block: Workshops and seminars with artists* – 4 weeks
First Research Period: 2 weeks
Second block: Workshops and seminars with artists* – 4 weeks
Second research period: 2 weeks
“Descampado”: Undefined terrain – 1 week
Third Block: Workshops and seminars with artists* – 3 weeks
Third research period: – 4 weeks
Occupation: A moment to share and showcase work at TBA – Teatro do Bairro Alto and other spaces TBC – 2 weeks.

*Artists: Eleonora Fabião, João Fiadeiro, Jonathan Burrows, Joris Lacoste, Leticia Skrycky & Santiago Rodriguez Tricot, Loïc Touzé, Luara Raio & Acauã Shereya El_Bandide, Marcelo Evelin, Mark Tompkins (to be confirmed), Marlene Monteiro Freitas (to be confirmed), Pedro Paiva e Vera Mantero.

The programme begins with the participants’ welcoming at Forum Dança to introduce the cultural associations and spaces in Lisbon.

Afterwards there will be a weeklong residency at O Espaço do Tempo, in Montemor-o-Novo, to deepen the participants’ connection and solidify the group. Here, the participants will show each other their work and begin taking part in joint exercises, sharing experiences and motivation.

Once back in Lisbon, we will enter into an outline that alternates between approximately four weeks of workshops and seminars, followed by two weeks dedicated to research. We believe that this time dedicated to research not only helps digest and internalise the experiences that the participants have during the preceding workshops and seminars, but also acts as a space in which to explore and create from any questions that come up either during, or that may have come up before, the programme.

At the midpoint of the programme, we come to a point that we call DESCAMPADO: a period of time in which nothing is defined. A chance to go off course; the chance to create new, spontaneous work and connections. This idea of an open terrain filled with opportunity to explore is central to this moment in the course.

Before we get to the moment where we celebrate this whole experience, what we call the OCCUPATION, we still have four more weeks of research. During those four weeks, not only will we welcome several guests who make up the training programme as well as new accomplices, and we encourage the group to invite external people to the training.

The OCUPATION, which will take place in Teatro do Bairro Alto, is a moment for sharing far more than a showcase of the group’s final presentations. It’s a free space, open to all possible formats; from classes given by the group’s participants, conferences and demonstrations, the sharing of ideas, demonstrations of work both finished and unfinished, as well as proposing experiences to the public, etc.

A partnership with the Centre National de la Danse in Pantin (Paris, France) provides the possibility of creating an extension of PACAP 7 in October 2024 for the duration of CAMPING. This experience which lasts one week, is a place to encounter different artistic fields (prop design, visual arts, dance, theatre, etc) and from different parts of the world. Furthermore, it also allows, on the one hand, to come into contact with different types of approach, taking part in workshops, conferences, attending shows, and on the other, to be a platform for showcasing work and meetings that will provide new partnerships and future collaborations.

NOTE: All travel, lodging and food expenses associated with CAMPING are the participant’s own responsibility.

Introductory Workshop
to Sensitive Dance

With Francesca Bertozzi and Claude Coldy

20 to 24 of september 2023

An original somatic movement practice by Claude Coldy

This is a workshop for letting us explore the fundamentals of Sensitive Dance, where the relationship with one’s own body and with another person is the central element to the work we will do.

Sensitive Dance is a practice which, through conscious movement, leads to greater awareness of oneself, one’s own body, and one’s perceptions and emotions. It is a practice that invites you to listen deeply to your body’s messages, and which gives access to unexpected, spontaneous responses, refreshing them with new qualities and possibilities of movement.

This practice proposes to revisit some fundamental stages of evolution through a phylogenetic path, consciously reliving various stages of the process of verticalization of the human being, to rediscover the meaning and potential contained in the form and structure of our bodies. Breathing, seeing, sensitive listening, and touching are some of the practices of Sensitive Dance. They allow us to welcome what is born in the density of our bodies and make its authentic quality tangible.

We will be guided to care for and deepen the discovery of movement, to express the dance of the present moment, creating a new language through a dynamic dialogue between breathing, feeling, internal movement and external movement. Sensitive Dance is a fundamental training for building the presence of the performative body, integrating movement and creation practices. It is an invitation to orient oneself in a changing of one’s internal paradigm, in which the performing artist enters full realization of himself through his art. Inhabited in this way, the artistic creation becomes an intimate and timeless space that the artist shares with the public, and to whom he offers his vision and his emotions within the scenic space.

João Fiadeiro © Ana Viotti

João Fiadeiro

Born in 1965, João Fiadeiro is part of a generation of choreographers that emerged in the late 1980’s and gave rise to the Nova Dança Portuguesa (New Portuguese Dance).

His career, both as a choreographer or performer and as a researcher or curator, has centered on creating conditions for experimentation, for laboratorial practices and for the intersection between artistic and scientific research. This activity was developed as much by coordinating programming and artistic research projects at Centro Cultural da Malaposta [1990-95], Espaço Ginjal [1995-98], Lugar Comum [1999-2000], Espaço A Capital [2000-2002] and Atelier Real [2004-2019] as by his artistic practice through his choreographies and the research workshops on and around Real Time Composition.

In all these different platforms João Fiadeiro was always accompanied by artists that participated as creators, performers, researchers and programmers, contributing in a decisive manner to the existence of this project through thirty years of non-stop activity.

Forum Dança - Aulas Regulares - Do Corpo Ao Corpo - Gisela Dória

12 December, 2022

From Body
to Body

Interdisciplinary Movement Practices

With Gisela Dória

Monday | 19h00-20h30

“Do Corpo ao Corpo consists of regular classes based on the practice that Gisela Dória has been developing over many years of pedagogical and artistic experience. The work proposed here dialogues with a variety of techniques, of which Dance, Pilates, Gyrokinesis®, and various Somatic Education practices, including the Klein Technique™, stand out. More than a synthesis of these techniques, the classes promote the integration of different approaches in favor of a sensitivity that takes the uniqueness of each body as a starting point.

The goal is to develop awareness of the physical structure in order to make movement more functional and pleasurable, contributing to maintaining the body’s vitality. These classes thus open paths for self-observation, providing each person with the necessary resources for the continued (re)education of their movement.

Classes are open to adults of all ages, with no technical or physical prerequisites.”

Forum Dança - Workshop Butoh 2023 - Yael Karavan

29 November, 2022

Workshop Butoh
Yael Karavan

21 and 22 of January | 11h00 – 17h00

Butoh and Metamorphoses – the Poetry of Images

“Inside this one body, there are various mythic things that are still sleeping intact… The work is how to excavate them…” – Tatsumi Hijikata, founder of Butoh

Poetic imagery is one of the greatest powers of Butoh dance. Exploring the present body, empty body, body as a vessel and the transformation of our physical states thanks to images.

Butoh is an avant-garde dance of transformation created at the end of the 50 in Japan. Butoh is not a technique but a method and philosophy, an approach to dance that is born within us and connects us to our essence, nature, universe and the cycles of life and death.

The main elements that will be explored in the workshop are metamorphoses, dance through imagery, presence, awareness, and the tension between opposites. The aim is to free the body from its mundane preconceived set of gestures and movements and thus allowing us to access a deeper and more authentic essence of movement and archetypal expression. Questioning how Butoh can be translated into a European Body and why is Butoh not just relevant but extremely vital nowadays.

Yael Karavan has more than 25 years of experience in Butoh, during which he had the opportunity to work with the founders of Butoh in Japan: Kazuo Ohno and Motofuji San – wife of Tatsumi Hijikata – as well as with Tadashi Endo and the MAMU dance theatre, Yumiko Yoshioka and Ten-Pen-Chi, Sankai Juku, Atsushi Takenuchi, Minako Seki, Carlota Ikeda, Yuko Kawamoto, Akira Kasai, Natsu Nakajuma among others.

Experimental
Erotica Laboratories

Experimental Erotica Laboratories
14 and 21 October, 18h-20h

Free Workshop gratuito | Registrations are open

Participation is free, with prior registration to our email.

This laboratory will be supervised by Katarina Lanier and is part of the research process she is developing within the scope of her artistic residency “Dances of Desire”, taking place at Forum Dança.

“The purpose of these laboratories is to open up the material I have been investigating in the context of the creation of my piece Call Me Three Times, developed within PACAP 5. *
Over the next few weeks of residency, I aim to pull out materials from the constructed piece, blow them up, touch their edges, and dislocate the erotic elements I was focused on sharing as completed images.” – Katarina Lanier

About the workshop

The labs will be divided into two parts: one body (which could be considered a warm-up) which will lead to a video exploration with the use of devices we have available (cell phones, cameras, computers, etc.)
During the two sessions, we will be engaged in individual and collective body practices with the goal of opening up the participants to sensations and their potential expressions. We will use these body practices and the conversations around them to experiment with their translation into short videos focused on producing desire, poetics, and attraction.
This laboratory is welcome to everybody.
Please come in loose clothing to move, and a few objects/elements that you consider to be potentially erotic (possible examples: songs that make you want to dance, clothes that make you want to touch yourself, objects that make you want to touch others, etc.)

Stretch and Placing- Klein Technique™ - Forum Dança

21 September, 2022

Stretch and Placement
– Klein Technique™

With Gisela Dória

Member of the Klein Technique™ Training Program

Thursday | 18h00-19h20

From October 6 to November 24, 2022

“Klein Technique™ is an ongoing process of discovery. It requires a constant articulation of theoretical information and experiential practice. Like nature, it is ordered and infinite in its discovery. The goal of Klein Technique™ is education at a deep level of understanding the total use of the body to maximize each individual’s unique movement potential. It is a technique that honors the individual. It aims to teach movement from the individual perspective of internal knowledge and understanding. Students at all levels of Klein Technique™ practice will gain insight into their movement patterns and habits and gain a greater internal understanding of their bodies.

It is a process-oriented practice of great value to people of all proficiency levels, dancers and non-dancers alike.

In this workshop we will work from simple exercises and slow stretches that seek to align our bone architecture so we can find connection with our deeper postural support musculature. Because these muscles are intimately connected to the bones, they are also intimately related to movement. Klein Technique™ is a deep and ongoing investigation aimed at bringing learning, good positioning, stretching, strengthening and healing to the body in a connected and integrated way.”

About the lecture cycle “My Dance History”

“All of us, dancers, choreographers or performers, have received in some way and by some route, more academic or more self-taught, an idea of the History of Dance, or the History of the Performing Arts, from which we feel “descended” (and perhaps we feel descended from several Histories at the same time!). There were certainly choreographic or scenic creators who made us understand the art we make the way we understand it today. Each one has a specific idea of how that History unfolded, and for each one there are certain creators and certain movements and artistic currents that contributed to configure the idea of dance that you have and practice and that, in some way, is responding to that History. These lectures will give us the opportunity to know the History of Dance that each one has created within themselves.”
Vera Mantero

After R|EXISTÊNCIA last December, PACAP 5 – an artistic training programme by Forum Dança curated by João Fiadeiro – returns to TBA to present the individual projects of the students/researchers. They will use the tools developed and tested in the early stages of the course, attempting to match the initial question-affect with this public gesture. It is often only when the gesture is concluded and becomes public that we clearly see if what we have said/done is exactly what we wanted to say/do. It rarely is. And that is a good thing.

Palestra "A Minha História da Dança", por Rui Horta

24 May, 2022

My Dance History,
by Rui Horta

June 23 at 6:30 pm
Galveias Palace Library • Lisbon
Approximate duration: 2 hours

Free entry, upon registration in the following form available .

Bio

Born in Lisbon, Rui Horta began dancing at the age of 17 in ballet courses at the Ballet Gulbenkian, having later lived for several years in New York, the city where he completed his training and developed his career as a performer and teacher. In 84 he returned to Lisbon, being one of the most important drivers of a new generation of Portuguese dancers and choreographers.

During the 90’s he lived in Germany where he directed the SOAP Dance Theater Frankfurt, his work being considered a reference of European dance and presented in the most important theaters and festivals around the world, namely at the Thêatre de la Vile, which co-produced his work over a decade.

In 2000 he returned to Portugal, having founded “O Espaço do Tempo” in Montemor-o-Novo, a multidisciplinary center for residencies and artistic experimentation.

In addition to his intense work as an independent creator, Rui Horta created, as a guest artist, a vast repertoire for renowned companies such as the Cullberg Ballet, the Gulbenkian Ballet, the Grand Ballet de l’Opera de Genéve, the Marseille, the Netherlands Dance Theatre, the Gothenburg Opera Dance Company, Icelandic Ballet, Scottish Dance Theatre, Random Dance, Carte Blanche, Ballet am Gartner Platz, Ballet de Roubaix, Ballet of the Opera of Linz, Ballet of the Opera of Nuremberg, Tanzmainz, &c.

Throughout his career he received important awards and distinctions such as the Grand Prix de Bagnolet, the Bonnie Bird Award, the Deutsche Produzent Preis, the Acarte Award, the Almada Award, the degree of Officer of the Ordem do Infante, the degree of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, by the French Ministry of Culture.

His choreographic creation has been classified as Heritage of German Dance. In the performing arts, his work as a director extends to theatre, opera, the new circus, and experimental music, as well as being a light designer and multimedia researcher, a universe he frequently uses in his works.

About the lecture cycle “My Dance History”

“All of us, dancers, choreographers or performers, have received in some way and by some route, more academic or more self-taught, an idea of the History of Dance, or the History of the Performing Arts, from which we feel “descended” (and perhaps we feel descended from several Histories at the same time!). There were certainly choreographic or scenic creators who made us understand the art we make the way we understand it today. Each one has a specific idea of how that History unfolded, and for each one there are certain creators and certain movements and artistic currents that contributed to configure the idea of dance that you have and practice and that, in some way, is responding to that History. These lectures will give us the opportunity to know the History of Dance that each one has created within themselves.”
Vera Mantero
