Poetics of Diversity

2020 – award 27ª Edição do Programa de Fomento à Dança para a cidade de São Paulo.

In such aggressive times, the subtleties and gaps of an art capable of generating closeness and powerful listening among all people become even more necessary. Cia Dança sem Fronteiras since its creation in its workshops, residences, Jams and shows welcomes the singularities of the structures of the bodies and allows a dance for everyone, of all colors, sizes, ages, with or without disabilities. A strong synergy is created and no one is left out or stopped, everyone dances. Continued research is the fundamental element to guarantee this synergy together with the precision, efficiency and artistic quality of the work of Cia Dança sem Fronteiras.

The Company notes that this synergy comes mainly from the readiness of all its members, being prepared to respond to different situations through many experiences, education and creation practices with dance and diversity. The entire cast always actively participates in training actions and educational experiences carried out along with the processes of creating new performances. Continuing research allows investigations and methodology studies to be continuous; theoretical and practical. The regularity of the study and practice of the improvisation technique provides the dancers of the Cia with readiness. In improvisation in the DanceAbility method practiced by Dança sem Fronteiras, four elements are central to being present and responding to the most diverse situations: – Physical SENSATION of the body – RELATIONSHIP with the other and with the space, – Dynamic TIME and pauses and DESIGN drawings created in space using the previous elements. Cia Dança sem Fronteiras in its projects and actions creates powerful bridges between the arts and the skills of each individual, breaking boundaries between dance and diversity

POÉTICAS DA DIVERSIDADE enabled Cia Dança sem Fronteiras to creat the performance  Ciranda de Retina e Cristalino, as well as delivering numerous workshops, dance jams and residencies with guest artists.
