[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Born in Lisbon, Rui Horta<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 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 Th\u00eaatre de la Vile, which co-produced his work over a decade.<\/p>\n In 2000 he returned to Portugal, having founded \u201cO Espa\u00e7o do Tempo\u201d in Montemor-o-Novo, a multidisciplinary center for residencies and artistic experimentation.<\/p>\n 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 Gen\u00e9ve, 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “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.” <\/p>\n Participants<\/strong> <\/p>\n The lecture series My Dance History<\/em> is a project developed since 2011 by O Rumo do Fumo and Forum Dan\u00e7a. The project, initially implemented in Lisbon, was also presented in Viseu, Funchal and Barcelona, in partnership with: Teatro Viriato, Dan\u00e7ando com a Diferen\u00e7a and La Poderosa. The cycle has been hosted by: Edif\u00edcio (LX Factory), Espa\u00e7o da Penha, Lisbon Library Network and Victor C\u00f3rdon\/OPART Studios.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rumo do Fumo and Forum Dan\u00e7a are structures financed by the Portuguese Republic \u2013 Culture \/ Directorate-General for the Arts. Project supported by the program contract with the Lisbon City Council \/ Municipal Directorate of Culture \/ Division of the Library Network.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lecture “My Dance History”, by Rui Horta, June 23, Lisbon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":27310,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[269,7,327,299,267],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-agenda-en","category-documentation","category-history","category-amhd-cdoc-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.forumdanca.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}About the lecture cycle “My Dance History”<\/strong><\/h4>\n
