LAST VACANCIES

 (Maura Baiocchi in TRANS by Paula Alves)

Coordination: Maura Baiocchi and Wolfgang Pannek

Assistants: Alda Maria Abreu and Ana Beatriz Almeida

In 2015, Taanteatro Company reopens its rural headquarters in São Lourenço da Serra (SP / Brazil) offering a program of creative immersion into the taanteatro dynamics that aim to enhance scenic presence through actions that expand the limits of body & thought and encourage the participant to create a solo-performance.

Among the reflective activities we highlight Thoughts in Performance based on three axes: 1. scenic presence and will to tension, 2. the artaudian body without organs as a choreographic practice, 3. ancestry, self-healing and effectuation in the cyber era.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Dancers, actors, performers, professionals and students from other areas of knowledge interested in intense practices of expansion and effectuation of their expressive potentials.
