Over three weekends, alongside the Actos de Língua exhibition, the three artists responsible for its choreography, videography, and sound design will lead a creative workshop exploring the relationships between choreography, sound, and moving images. The laboratory O Corpo em Espelhos focuses on the transmission of ideas of movement between these three planes of composition, while exploring their articulation in moments of creation with distinct characters. In each session, a pair of subjects is articulated among the various ones at play — the body in motion, its sound, its image — in order to compose and assemble different forms of mediation, between performance and installation, each part of a cumulative process of collective creation, to be developed throughout the sessions.

O Corpo em Escuta
with Carlos M. Oliveira and Diogo Alvim

At this initial stage, we will explore the relationship between sound and dance, using the body in motion and recording tools to create a choreography whose vocabulary focuses on the act of listening. Participants should be willing to explore movement proposals that include touch, with their own bodies and in relation to the group.

Corpo, Movimento e Multiperspetiva
with Carlos M. Oliveira and James Newitt

In the second stage, the relationship between the act of filming and the body in motion will be explored, both what is captured and what is being captured, in order to create a choreography whose vocabulary focuses on the relationship between filming and being filmed. Participants must be willing to make their own image part of the collective work.

Som e Imagens do Corpo no Espaço
with Diogo Alvim and James Newitt

The last weekend is dedicated to assembling the sound and image content captured during the previous two weekends, using it to build a multimedia installation focused on the spatialization of sound and images of the body in motion, to be presented in the Actos de Língua exhibition space itself on the last day of the laboratory, April 12, at 5 p.m.
