FOR A TIMELINE TO BE – GENEALOGIES OF DANCE AS ARTISTIC PRACTICE IN PORTUGAL (VI Edition)

To know the History of Dance in Portugal is, today, to think in a global space, crossed and in relation. The historical, social and political dimension invoked in the exhibition project For a Timeline to Be – Genealogies of Dance as Artistic Practice in Portugal, which we are presenting in the Foyers of the Serralves Auditorium as part of the 6th Edition of the DDD Festival, will surely contribute to our knowledge of this field.

Starting from a reflection on the present, the team behind the exhibition has constructed a complex historical and artistic methodology that has led them to carry out in-depth and multidisciplinary research, forever ongoing, into the creative, philosophical and symbolic processes that have marked Dance in the 20th and early 21st centuries in Portugal.

For a Timeline to Be – Genealogies of Dance as Artistic Practice in Portugal is a collective exercise signalling milestones of the development and dissemination of dance as artistic practice in Portugal in the 20th and 21st centuries. Carried out intermittently since 2016 and assuming the present as the place of enunciation, each edition undergoes mutations that lead to physical and methodological reconfigurations of what is given to view. It combines bibliographic sources with listening to testimonies, collecting original documents with iconographic research, drawing narratives and relationships, seeking to create a multiple place for understanding what dance is or can be, and proposing a familiarity with works, authors, “canons”, corporalities, epochs and worldviews, questioning them aesthetically and politically.
