Rehearsals for the dance solo HENDA I XALA, a creation in co-production with DDD24. It will be the first fruit of the larger project "Confluences", which began as an artistic residency at CAMPUS PCS / DDD23. The project is being developed as a creative platform that brings together a series of artistic experiments based on Oirana Moraes' relationship as a performer-creator with her father, Mário Calixto (1960-1996), a dancer and choreographer.
The dance solo being created is based on a chain of questions that seek to put into practice the mechanisms by which we are able to perpetuate memory, relate to time and death, as well as explore the paradoxes inherent in their expressions.
This residency took place on weekdays between 30/08 and 08/09/23, from 10am to 1pm, in the space kindly provided by Balleteatro.
Oirana Moraes, a Portuguese-Brazilian dancer from Amarante, has a degree in Dance from the Angel Vianna College (Rio de Janeiro) and has trained at the École des Sables (Senegal) and the École de Danse Irène Tassembedo (Burkina Faso). Her research centres on the intersection between contemporary, urban and Afro-Brazilian dance. Wura currently lives and develops his choreographic work in the triangle between Africa, Latin America and Europe.
balleteatro hosts residencies, for which it opens applications, occasionally, at periods to be defined. There are currently no open calls in progress. // At the time of registration, residencies by competition aim to create an opportunity for artists to develop specific projects within the performing arts in conditions of creative immersion. Applications must refer to a specific work project and must foresee at least one action that can be opened to the city. This action should not be confused with a final presentation resulting from the laboratory itself. The projects in the competition must foresee working with local people to be selected according to criteria defined by the author(s) of the project. The project file must contain: project presentation; title; artistic area; synopsis; participants' biographies; schedule; other existing supports and in what format; other elements considered relevant.
This material should be sent to producao@balleteatro.pt.
The duration of the residencies may vary depending on the specificity of the selected projects. If the project continues in the future, balleteatro should be referred to as a co-producer.
