Residence Artists
Bárbara Paixão
Bárbara Paixão (Bombarral, 1994) is a new media digital artist who develops 2D visuals, interactive installations and VJing sets. Motivated by the complementarity between art and technology, her focus is on working with the interaction between the body and the computer. It is in the audiovisual installation format that she makes the most of interactive experiences. She often works with sensors that capture human presence and software that acts in real time. Using real-time also allows her to create visuals that are reactive to sound, as well as being manipulated live, creating synesthetic experiences.
Sofia Sá
Sofia Sá is a singer, composer and sound artist from Braga. She began her musical career studying classical piano at the Calouste Gulbenkian Conservatory of Music, where she completed her 5th degree. She attended secondary school in Visual Arts and in 2016 she entered the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon, studying multimedia art. In 2017 she resumed her musical studies at the Hot Club to study Jazz. It was then that she began to explore voice and improvisation. In 2021 she completed her degree in Singing at ESMAE in Porto. She has participated in various projects between Portugal and Copenhagen, where she currently lives, exploring areas related to performance, installation and music for dance.

Date and schedules:
1ST PART;
october 12
16h00 to 17h30
2ND PART;
october 13
10h30 to 12h00
/ Through dance and movement, this workshop aims to bring together the abstract and the concrete, the material and the immaterial, the “meaning” of an idea of irrelevance, the being of one's own body. Using tools and guidelines for improvisation in movement, the aim will be to initiate a (never-ending) physical research in search of a sharing fueled by curiosity, analysis and the absence of aesthetic concerns, an organic and individual approach to the intrinsic movement of each body. Participants will be invited to channel concrete experiences through their own movement and also to analyze how other bodies access this same proposal. A guided exploration between theoretical research and practice that seeks to clarify the body as a vehicle for communication, experimentation, sharing, information and experience(s). This workshop, for the most part, is designed around group tasks and exercises in which interaction between the participants proves to be an essential ingredient for everyone's experience and growth.

VOICE WORKSHOP
Date and Schedules
October 12
15h30 → 18h30
/ The voice is a natural element of our daily lives, but singing is a recreational use of the voice and is therefore a bodily exposure. Based on this principle, this workshop aims to raise awareness of what our vocal apparatus is and to deconstruct what singing is. By exploring some technical elements such as breathing, diction and body relaxation, but also some practices such as improvisation and group singing practice, the aim is to achieve greater vocal control and comfort in everyday life and in an artistic context for anyone who likes to use their voice in their daily practices.
