Para uma Timeline a Haver
Genealogias da dança enquanto prática artística em Portugal
For a
Timeline to Be – Geneaologies of dance as artistic practice in Portugal is a collective exercise that signals landmarks related to the
development and dissemination of dance as artistic practice in Portugal in the
20 th and 21 st centuries. Developed intermittently since 2016 and assuming the
present as a place of enunciation, each edition undergoes mutations that lead
to physical and methodological reconfigurations of what is exhibited. It
combines bibliographic sources with direct testimonies, original documents with
iconographic research, drawing narratives and relationships that allow for
multiple perspectives in the understanding of what dance is or can be,
proposing a familiarity with works, authors, “canons”, corporealities, eras and
worldviews, to question them aesthetically and politically.
