For a Timeline to Be<\/span><\/i> is an artistic and historiographical research project that aims to identify milestones and episodes related to the development and dissemination of dance in Portugal during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Taking the Portuguese New Dance movement as its point of departure, it investigates the conditions of its emergence and formation\u2014across both the long and the short dur\u00e9e, tracing the century as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conceived and directed by Jo\u00e3o dos Santos Martins, whose work has been intersecting the archeology of choreographic artifacts of dance repertoire and their operativeness in the present time and historian and performance studies scholar Ana Bigotte Vieira, who has dedicated herself to cultural history and the role of art in shaping the social sphere as a collective device for artistic and historical research, the project originated within the context of <\/span>Reencontro<\/span><\/i>, by Jo\u00e3o dos Santos Martins, with Vera Mantero, Paulo Ribeiro, Clara Andermatt and Jo\u00e3o Fiadeiro, co-produced by Teatro Viriato in 2016. Since then, it has unfolded through seven editions and several working sessions across the country (more info on the several editions underneath)<\/span><\/p>\n

Combining bibliographic sources with the listening of testimonies, the collection of original documents with iconographic research, and the mapping of narratives and relationships, the project seeks to create a plural space for understanding what dance is\u2014or might be. It proposes a familiarity with works, authors, \u201ccanons,\u201d corporealities, historical periods, and worldviews, while interrogating them aesthetically and politically. Taking the present as its site of enunciation, each edition undergoes transformations that lead to a physical and methodological reconfiguration of what is made visible,Reconfiguring the team and including new collaborations, such as: in curatorship, the artists and researchers Carlos Manuel Oliveira (5th and 7th editions) and Ana Dinger (7th edition); in research and content writing, Paula Casp\u00e3o, Rita Lu\u00eds, and Pedro Cerejo; and Desir\u00e9e Desmarattes, Diana Niepce, Angela Guerreiro and Piny, Lu\u00eds Guerra, and Andr\u00e9 Cabral in relation to singular research projects supported by the project or re-performances it has commissioned. With each exhibition or event, it has sought to create conditions of possibility for encounters for a broader community that includes the past as present, questioning it in order to open up futures, worldmaking.<\/span> T<\/span>he complete list of people who collaborated on the project can be found in the Project Technical specifications (see below).<\/span><\/p>\n
