Dança sem Fronteiras

DANÇA SEM FRONTEIRAS – DANCE WITHOUT FRONTIERS was created in 2010, as the name suggests it has as its main aim the creation of opportunities for all to experience dance as a source of freedom of expression through the body that has no frontiers. DANÇA SEM FRONTEIRAS – DANCE WITHOUT FRONTIERS brings together artists from different backgrounds and abilities incorporating different art forms to promote and make visible the dance that comes from a diverse group of performers. The company creates site specific, dance-theatre pieces and regularly performs in theatres and unconventional spaces. All the projects of DANÇA SEM FRONTEIRAS – DANCE WITHOUT FRONTIERS have the objectives of promoting contemporary dance as a cultural medium accessible to all, strengthening the diversity and widening the artistic and social horizons beyond labels, to question formulas and prejudices about “dance”,” Disability” and “professionalism”.
