Dance Match is a "navigation of thought in motion" (a term from Erin Manning), crossing the world of sports, matches, dance and performances.
Thoughts find meaning while transiting in the uncertain process of life
Therefore in this "Dance Match" there is an attempt of putting together worlds that apparently contradict each other. 
It’s a Coliloquy developed together with Ana Luísa Valdeira, Madalena Palmeirim and Sara Anjo. 

Created and recorded by: Ana Luísa Vieira, Madalena Palmeirim and Sara Anjo
Edited by: Madalena Palmeirim
Text: Madalena Palmeirim
Music: Prokofiev - March

Colilóquio 1 - Dance Match

Solilóquio 2 is a reflection based on "autobodygraphical delcarations", a term from the choreographer Susan Rethorst. Is it developed as a soliloquy about the body and perception of time. It is also a reflection about José Gil question: why dance as an art, particularly as a body art, is capable of capturing the meaning of the world? (...) and why the “meaning of clouds” - that is, the congregations of movements that don’t mean nothing precise, hold precisely the meaning of the world?

Quotings from: José Gil - Movimento Total; Tom Hodgkinson and Dan Kieran - Idle Pleasures; Alberto Caeiro - O Guardador de Rebanhos; Bible - Ecclesiastes 3

Islands - a Constellation

Ilhas e ilhéus nascem das profundezas, nascem de uma explosão vulcânica e orgásmica. Nascem da combustão dos corpos que rasgam o ar e se fazem irradiar até ao fim da vida através do oxigénio, das suas trocas e mutações.
A vida resolve-se por explosão, por infecção, por contágio e não apenas por reprodução. Resolve-se num acto de radicalismo cósmico. Pois a utopia está lá no horizonte. Aproxima-se, afasta-se. Depois aproxima-se a caminhar e afasta-se a correr. Por mais que se caminhe, jamais permanece. Para que serve a utopia?

"llhas - uma constelação" é uma série de audio-coreografias, uma espécie de danças sonoras que reflectem acerca do corpo e do movimento através do imaginário das viagens e da geografia insular.

ILHAS - UMA CONSTELAÇÃO

Islands and islanders are born from the depths, born in a volcanic and orgasmic explosion. They are born from the combustion of a body that tears the air and makes itself irradiate until the end of life through oxygen and its exchanges and mutations. And all this exchange is the most invisible and unconscious dance, as it is primary and fundamental.
Life is resolved by explosion, by infection, by contamination and not only by reproduction. It is resolved in an act of cosmic radicalism, because utopia is on the horizon. It approaches and it moves away. Then it approaches again while walking and moves away while running. No matter how much one walks, it never remains. What is the need of a utopia?

"lslands - a constellation" is a series of audio-choreographies, a sort of sonic dances that reflects about the body and movement through the imaginary of travels and the geography of islands.
