PREMIERE Co-production "continued project" by João dos Santos Martins

n 2011, I had the opportunity to partake, under a pedagogical frame, of the interpretation and reperformance of Yvonne Rainer's Continuous Project – Altered Daily (1970). At that moment, tensions arose from the work that were later materialized in the performance itself: a working process transformed into aesthetic experience that viewed choreographic labor as artistic product. In this project we give continuity to this idea of choreography as a technology that verifies, activates and transforms relations between individuals. While making recurrence to objects from the history of dance, their contexts and ideologies, we seek to revive and operate at the way in which choreography and dance establish ideological patterns that question the dominant paradigms.
