It comprises a Library and a Media Library, and is accessible to those who frequent our activities, as well as to the external public, from Monday to Friday, for local consultation or home request.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Library<\/strong> has about 1300<\/strong> volumes<\/strong> referring to different themes (e.g., Anatomy, Visual Arts, Essay\/Theory, Composition, Performance Studies, Philosophy and Aesthetics, Educational Dance, European Dance, Modernism, Cultural Policies, Postmodernism, Production, Theater), magazines and catalogs of the performing arts since the 1990s. The Video Library area is made up of around 1000 DVDs,<\/strong> mostly recordings of national and international dance works.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ant\u00f3nio Pinto Ribeiro’s<\/strong> personal dance collection is deposited at the Documentation Centre, available for local consultation. Rui Silveira’s<\/strong> collection of books, also deposited here, is also available for local consultation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Library<\/strong> is continuously updated through: offerings from artists and professors; regular purchases of new publications; offer of a copy of the new published books Orfeu Negro<\/strong> and the Orfeu Mini<\/strong> collection, the result of Forum Dan\u00e7a’s collaboration with this publishing house.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Mediatheque<\/strong> is a collection, unique in Portugal, of registering national choreographic creation over the last 30 years. There are records of works by most national contemporary dance choreographers. Its facilities have suitable equipment for reading any support and technological format (VHS, DVD, CD-ROM).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Documentation Center is a fundamental resource and support for artistic research (resulting from artistic residencies or in-depth creative processes) and academic research, especially in the preparation of literature reviews, the search for theoretical frameworks, or data research in archives. . It is a resource for the development of works and projects (intermediate and final) by Forum Dan\u00e7a artists and students. It is an important reference in supporting the academic research of external users, namely undergraduate, masters and doctoral students in the artistic field, who are looking for very specific information in these disciplines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dance teachers, in different contexts of the community, also visit it to prepare and design classes, namely through books on Educational Dance, Composition and Anatomy. The Portuguese dance DVD section is also used as a source to accompany or structure the sessions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its openness to the general public \u2013 students from regular studio classes, foreign artists who are passing through and looking for information, occasional visitors to thematic seminars, children\/young people from summer vacation programs \u2013 gives it the function of dissemination\/presentation choreographic production.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Opening hours” title_color=”#000000″ background_color=”#eeeeee”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1687872986492{padding-left: 50px !important;}”]From Monday to Friday, from 12:00 to 18:00.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”User rules” title_color=”#000000″ background_color=”#eeeeee”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1767978660883{padding-left: 50px !important;}”]External users<\/strong><\/p>\n
