As part of the European project “CLASH! - When classic and contemporary dance collide and new forms emerge ”, Ca.DA - Companhia de Dança de Almada is developing a series of activities aimed at developing dance audiences.

Aiming to show the community the daily work of a professional dance company, Companhia de Dança de Almada did receive a group of young students, and a senior group, on February 19th. These two groups were welcomed at the company's facilities, where they were able to watch the work of the dancers, consisting of a warm-up class and rehearsal of pieces from the repertoire, and also to chat informally with the choreographers, teacher, rehearser and interpreters. A practical workshop guided by Ms. Susana Rosendo will also be offered. There was also a Contemporary Dance class led by Bruno Duarte, and a practical Creative Dance workshop led by Professor Susana Rosendo.

The CLASH project! is led by Balletto di Roma (Italy) in partnership with the Companhia de Dança de Almada (Portugal), 420PEOPLE (Czech Republic), Derida Dance Center / Art Link Foundation (Bulgaria), Polski Teatr Tańca - Polish Dance Theater (Poland) and Sapienza Università di Roma (Italy), and co-financed by the Creative Europe Program (Grant Contract No. 2018 - 2032/001 - 001) and in Portugal, by the Ministry of Culture through the Direção Geral das Artes.
