HOW NOT TO KNOW TOGETHER: WHAT TO DO WITH WHAT REMAINS_IN SITU
WITH João Fiadeiro (PORTUGAL)
Most of us know that we know. Thus making us stiff and limited (knowledge is not plastic). Some of us know that they don’t know. Turning us more available and open to the world, but less adventurous. Fewer people are those who do not know they know. A rare quality that, when (ab)used with precision, in the right place at the right time, can open unexpected gaps. But the rarest and, therefore, most powerful tool, is when we manage not to know that we don’t know. When we manage to be here and now without the anxieties’ influence generated by past experiences or future expectations. How to explore the endangered body, the places of collision and the collapse borders?
The activity framework conducted by educator in focus João Fiadeiro will be the performance What to Do with What Remains (to be presented at MITsp). To this end, Fiadeiro – supported by Brazilian dancer Carolina Campos, performer in the show – will work with the participants in Composition in Real Time, a scenic tool that allows to transform the arising affections when confronting with the street (and with the body’s slow degradation) in images and then in formulations-situations. There will be two groups of concomitant participants: 20 artists with experience in improvisation and composition in contemporary dance, theatre and performance areas; and 10 observing educators who will be responsible for the narrative writing process (dramaturgical, discursive or scenic).

March 5th to 12th, every day, from 10am to 1pm, with a break on March 8th and 9th Sunday and Monday.
Presentation of the scenic experiment: March 12th, Thursday, from 10am to 1pm, followed by a talk.
