WORKSHOP
Rehearsals of Confrontation
WITH Wallace Ferreira/Patfudyda
Guided by the creative research that shapes the repertoire of director, choreographer, and performer Wallace Ferreira/Patfudyda, this workshop explores the historical, aesthetic, and communal principles of ballroom culture, as well as studies of images choreographed by dissident bodies. In this session, through gestures and poses, the artist and participants develop furtive resistances, conjure ways of remaining in the world, and seek to construct tactics for claiming spaces through presence.
WHEN AND WHERE

Mezzanine of SESI-SP
Registration via form on the MITsp website until 03/12.
