Guest Artist: MÁRCIA LANÇA 15 > 19 JAN 2024 11 > 15 MAR 2024 E.B. 2.3 Naus, Lagos
In 2023 Márcia Lança worked with a 5th grade class from Escola das Naus, in a creative laboratory that was divided into three distinct parts – three weeks along the school year.
From these sessions, through many heads and many hands, The Book of the Union of Dimensions emerged. From the writing to the cover, from the drawings to the trunk where the book is kept, all things were thought out and made in collaboration based on dialogue, listening and the time needed for collective decisions to be made.
In 2024 Márcia Lança returns to the same class (6 graders now) to turn this book into a show!
Together we will experiment the various steps that make up a show. Some will be actors, others directors, others dancers, set, light, costume, sound designers, make-up artists… and each one will have the opportunity to take the place where they feel best, in this collective and collaborative adventure.
The end of this workshop will bring to light the history of this well-kept treasure in the school’s library.
