Claudia Castellucci, co-founder with Romeo Castellucci and Chiara and Paolo Guidi of the Italian theater company Societas Raffaello Sanzio, in 1981, comes to Portugal to develop a workshop that combines dance and gesture theory. The workshop "The Wave Treatment" is built according to a rhythmic principle that considers the different moments of the day. A dance based on the sound of the bells and implemented with a stick.

This is the first time French choreographer Mathilde Monnier directs a workshop in Portugal. She will go through different writing processes related to her repertoire, which are also an opportunity to think about the notion of reinterpretation. This workshop will also be a space to question the need to go through contemporary repertoires to better understand what is represented in time and how writing can cross (or not) an era.

How can we use the preparation for the ring as a preparation to make dance or art? What if the preparation of the fighter is an artistic process? We want to explore the exchangability of physical disciplines as a tool for dancers, makers and creative people. Choreographer and performer Florentina Holzinger, who was at BoCA 2017 for an artistic residency, proposes now a workshop to recruit warriors, assuming that this will result in better artistry.
