This project gathers eight distinct creations, based on a rotating work methodology, which allows each artist to develop his/her project but also to collaborate in the others. According to a schedule of meetings between two people at a time, eight artists interchange between themselves in a series of fifty-six work sessions (8 X 7), of six hours each, distributed by seven weeks, in which they are alternately proposer and work team. Each artist proposes their own project, having at their disposal a rehearsal and technical space, seven work sessions with the other artists, and a small production budget. An eighth week of meetings between the whole team aims at sharing the materials created and the joint conception of a public exhibition of the various creations. This show was called the Summer Programme and took place on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of July 2021 at the PENHA SCO, in Lisbon.
