While commemorating 30 years of activity, Companhia de Dança de Almada sought to overcome the difficulties of the time in which we live and to maintain the organization of the 28th Quinzena de Dança de Almada, striving to meet the expectations of the public, continuing to surprise with new performances and events, some in new formats, creating or maintaining the essential security conditions for participants and audience.
Opening with the performance “A quiet moment”, created by Bruno Duarte for Companhia de Dança de Almada, the festival will include presentations by invited choreographers from Spain and Portugal, and an international choreographic platform with representatives from 10 countries and international dance programmers.
Thinking about the local dancers, we will have an artistic residency with the choreographers of the UNAIUNA dance company, for the creation of a new work. Abandoning the closed spaces, this time we will promote a performance workshop that will run through the streets of Almada, within the scope of the TEPe project.
This year, in addition to the usual Video Dance Showcase, we added the presentation of an award-winning documentary about dance and a session on screen creations made during the confinement period.
We will also have round tables with invited professionals, who will discuss topics relevant to dance professionals within the scope of the Up2DANCE and CLASH! projects.
Thus, in this new edition of the Quinzena de Dança de Almada, we maintain a spirit of communion through dance, and the creation of new opportunities for sharing with the public and between students and dance professionals.
