From the 25th to the 28th of June, the InArt – Community Arts Festival presents at Teatro do Bairro proposals that affirm inclusion, accessibility and artistic diversity. A space for creation and exchange, where communities and artistic languages intersect through collaborative processes, fostering new forms of expression and participation. InArt – a meeting point between communities.
Programme:
25th June - 7 pm
The Festival opens with We are our hands, a transdisciplinary project integrated into the training programme of CiM - Dance Company, in partnership with other organisations. It brings together performers from CERCIAMA and AFIDance, starting from the question “What does it mean to be?”. The project combines diverse experiences and forms of expression in an exploration of empathy, identity and belonging through art.
26th June - 7 pm
Vo'Arte presents Geração SOMA, with emphasis on Promised Land - The Ideal School, a laboratory led by Manuel Henriques in collaboration with teachers from the Padre Bartolomeu de Gusmão School Group. A project that transforms the Josefa de Óbidos School into a space of creation, dreams and identity, with the participation of students from the 2nd and 3rd cycles.
27th June - 7 pm
A day of reflection on the place of people with disabilities in artistic creation, featuring three proposals: Brains, a solo by Nelson Moniz, a CiM dancer with cerebral palsy, which questions the limits of the body and of the attempt. Human Geography, a documentary by Pedro Sena Nunes that explores memory and space as living matter. Dispatch, a laboratory choreographed by Aldara Bizarro, exploring the relationships between body, space, movement, and otherness. A meeting of voices, presences and languages that assert the right to expression and authorship within the arts.
28th June - 7pm
The closing of InArt brings proposals that expand territories and multiply communities: Visible Movement, a reflection on the artistic potential of Portuguese Sign Language. Ei Toire Linde!, presentation of the creative process of noé, which brings together four male bodies in a choreographic exercise between strength and fragility, questioning the contours of masculinity. Conversation around Sonhos Comuns, creation by Ana Rita Teodoro, in which two dancers explore tactile communication and, through dance, construct new forms of relationship.
* Session with interpretation in Portuguese Sign Language.
