Guest Artist: GUSTAVO CIRÍACO with the participation of SARA VIEIRA MARQUES 15 > 18 OCT 2018 Escola Básica 1º Ciclo Bairro Operário, Lagos
Between Dogs and Wolves is a workshop for building landscapes between light and dark based on stories and descriptions of landscapes that no longer exist, kept only in the memories of very old people, and dream landscapes, drawn and imagined by very young children.
The workshop is inspired by the hours of dusk and low light to investigate conditions of visibility and ways of translating landscape experiences into the dark theatre room.
Various resources are used in the work with the children, from drawing exercises, building landscapes on paper, assembling dioramas, shadow play, dance, theatre and a certain kind of handmade cinema to create a rich repertoire of images, stories and landscapes.
