The project "Forget Me Not" by Catarina Casqueiro and Tiago Coelho continues its development. In the last weeks a big impulse was given during Quinzena de Dança de Almada - International Dance Festival, in Almada, Portugal, with a lot of involvement of the choreographers with the audiences, new dancers, the production team and international professional attendants to the festival.

To begin this phase of the project, Catarina and Tiago presented their work in progress in the International Platform for Choreographers, attended not only by the general audience, but also by their peers, and a good number of guest programmers and directors from other companies and festivals. Sharing sessions were organised to implement possible exchanges.

Tiago and Catarina lead a workshop open to the local dance community, also with the presence of guest international professionals.

Furthermore their residence continued with the expansion of the work with 11 local dancers, presenting again the progress of the work to the local audience at the end of the festival, followed by a conversation with the audience. The results of this residence were impressive and inspiring both for the dancers and the whole audience.

The next phase of this project will continue in the Aerowaves in Sofia, Bulgaria, with another residence in the Derida Dance Center, one of the international partners. The performance takes place on November 24th, at 6:30 pm (local time), at Derida Stage.

"Forget Me Not" is supported by the European Festivals Fund for Emerging Artists - EFFEA, an initiative of the European Festivals Association (EFA), co-funded by the European Union.
