on the theme of violence against women
Led by the actress and visual artist Thais Medeiros, this workshop consists of physical and vocal training for the creation of a public performance on the theme of violence against women.
The goal is to promote an exchange of experiences around the issue of violence against women from different realities: from the perspective of a country in Latin America, Brazil, and a European country, Germany. Participants will work closely with the theme so that each one finds a place, a moment in their memories, in their stories, that they are able to express through their movement repertoire and sensibility.
The workshop will involve improvisation, physical and vocal exercises, somatic techniques, stimuli and provocations focused on the theme. Games and exercises will be used to develop the stage presence of the participants. Participants will be inspired, stimulated and empowered to generate reflections and dialogues about this tragic social reality from an artistic and poetic perspective.
The public performance will generate a powerful space in which to discuss, reflect and express this theme through a physical dramaturgy. The workshop and performance will include the musician Ivan Medeiros who will make sound and rhythmic interventions.
Tapete Manifesto was part of the documentary-series “Causando na Rua” from the cineast Tata Amaral and also of several national and international festivals, such as: Festival Internacional Multicidade – The Magdalenas Project, Rio de Janeiro, RJ; FAISCA, Alfenas, MG; and Ocupação Cena Aberta FUNARTE, Teatro de Arena Eugênio Kusnet, São Paulo, SP.
