Percursos pela Arquitetura
Urban spaces, with their urban grids and architectural lines, are part of a symbolic/cultural universe and carry with them a historical legacy from the past, which must be questioned in the light of the present, in order to properly project into the future.
Percursos pela Arquitetura is a project by Ana Figueira, in which short Dance pieces are created from the contamination of the built Space by the Body that is inserted in it. A site-specific that intends to dialogue with urban spaces through choreographic creation and the exploration of non-formal contexts for dance. Here, both the choreographers and the public find the possibility to discover and establish new relationships with the inhabited space.
Since 1999, the project has been developed in different contexts and spaces. More recently, it has been presented at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto, Open House – Casa da Arquitectura, Festival Lá Fora (Évora), Ilustração à Vista (Ílhavo), Cineteatro Alba (Albergaria-a-Velha) and at the Municipal Museum of Faro.
