RHYTHMIC CRACKS

WITH Emily Beaney and Lowri Evans

Information on mitsp.org     

Inspired by the book Invisible Woman, by Caroline Criado-Perez, the experimental residency, promoted by British Council alongside Creative Scotland, unites female artists from the UK and Brazil in a creative workshop. Exploring ideas about the gender data gap and how data bias/dis-functional gendered rhythms affect the lives of performers, we will make wearable sculptures, rhythmic movement sequences and improvised performances.

SUSPICIOUS: PERFORMATIVE CHOREOGRAPHIES OF DAILY CONFRONTATION

WITH Original Bomber Crew (Piauí)

Peripheral body, indigenous body, quilombola body, marginal body. Suspected of challenging the status quo and established privileges. Inspired on the actual and past reality of the invaded, exploited, colonized and murdered peoples in Brazil, the workshop proposes a dance experience that is almost nothing: spasms that are choreographed from the look of the other and the cracked movements of breaking dance. SUSPECT is the research’s unfolding initiated with tReta, when examining the body, gesture and movements of daily confrontations of young people in resistance conditions.

WHEN

March 10th and 11th, Tuesday and Wednesday, from 10am to 2pm.

LABEXP1- Disobedient Voices

WITH Lia Garcia [La Novia Sirena] (MEXICO) and Meno del Picchia (BRAZIL)

Trans performer and slammer Lia Garcia [La Novia Sirena] and musician Meno del Picchia will work the voice breaking and its fragments in this lab. The dissents’ vocal production will gain the centrepiece from the shout, the lament, the cry and the echo derived from resistance stories. The voice as a vocabulary of trans resistance, as emotive production element and as collective pain memory. On each activity day a different concept will be focused:

Day 1: The wound – The injured body’s voice; the alphabet of wounds as a remnant of the contextualized city.

Day 2: The scar – The wound’s residue (“here it hurt, here I healed”); the scar as a footprint and as a body-emotive memory to weave the resistances and alliances between our struggles.

Day 3: Trans / deformation – The voice as a spearhead to imagine new bodies, new worlds and new ways of speaking of our pain.

The dynamics will be based on elements of the spoken word / expanded poetry, performance, trans and gender perspective and will rely on the musical provocations of Meno del Picchia.

WHEN

February 29th to March 2nd, Saturday to Monday, from 9am to 1pm.

URGENT THEATRE : AGONIZING MEETING

WITH Lisandro Rodriguez (ARGENTINA)

Lisandro Rodriguez intends to offer an open space for questioning, exchange and thinking, seeking the continual deconstruction of representation conformed principles so that director and participants find a unique, poetic and personal scenic language.

A morning group and an afternoon group will be formed, and both will work with similar themes and approaches. At the meetings, with a joint presentation of a scenic experiment on the last day, the Argentine director will work on issues related to the practice of being / acting, in order to undermine the performance usual areas and the very idea of representation. Based on minimal elements and an intimate and singular look at the world, participants will investigate how to build the scenic space and inhabit it from other assumptions.

This laboratory will be an experimentation period for the show Lisandro Rodriguez will jointly create with MITsp, for the 2021 edition. Minimum requirement is that participants have at least basic practice in theatre and some artistic experience.

WHEN

March 5th to 15th, every day, from 10am to 6pm (two groups), developing to a scenic experiment on the last day, March 15th, starting at 2pm.

WITH Maria Galindo (BOLIVIA)

Presented for the first time at the event El Parlamento de los Cuerpos: los Parlamentos Imposibles, in Bergen, Norway, curated by Paul Preciado, Viktor Neumann and Andreas Angelidakis, Maria Galindo’s performance starts from the creative reactivation of social protest, the assembly and the political manifesto to inquire the horizons of the feminist struggle and the place where we are when we name our space “feminist”.

Following the presentation, LABEXP3 participants exhibit micro performances with the objects created during the activity. At the end, there is a talk between the public and Maria Galindo, mediated by Maria Fernanda Vomero.

SCAR

WITH Lia Garcia [La Novia Sirena] (MEXICO)

Mexican Lia Garcia’s performance triggers the following questions: What history our pain tells? How is politics made from collective pain? Do the trans * lives (due to the trivialization of the word, the artist spells the term with an asterisk at the end) hurt us? Faced with the state of emergency in which we find ourselves, says the performer, we – trans * lives – rebel, we come out to the public space with our bodies (cuerpas) and expose all the violence that mutilate our memory.

Following, there will be a screening of Matheus Parizi’s documentary on MITsp’s Educational Activities.

WHEN

March 2th, Mon., at 5:30 pm.

PERFORMING TALK WHAT I AM I WAS NOT BY MYSELF

WITH João Fiadeiro (PORTUGAL) and Maria Fernanda Vomero (BRAZIL)

It is a chat between two people in a format resembling a talk show, occasionally interrupted by deviations blocking its progression and postponing its conclusion. These deviations (these shows), done and undone as the conversation (the talk) unfolds, generate new perception and relationship spaces with the event’s driving force, causing the viewer to “come and go” between the conversation meaning and performance direction.

WHEN

March 9th, Monday, from 11am to 1pm.
