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 (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
