DD CAMPUS has funk, flamenco, vogue, capoeira and millie rock workshops

As the DDD - Festival Dias da Dança approaches, the workshops and practices also return to CAMPUS Paulo Cunha e Silva. From 22 April to 4 May, there will be a wide range of practices, from funk to flamenco, vogue, voice, capoeira and millie rock.

From Monday 22 April until Friday 3 May, except for the weekend, free yoga classes are back. Classes will be led by Ana Santos Silva, Jovita Ivanaviciute and Marisa Vieira, from Casa Ganapati, and are open to anyone who wants to join.

Many of the festival's artists will also attend the DDD x CAMPUS, for practices aimed exclusively at professionals and advanced-level performing arts students.

In the first week, Marga Alfeirão and Mariana Benenge will lead a practice to deconstruct movement vocabulary and an exercise for the view of those who observe and are being observed, from 22 to 26 April.

Also on the 22nd, Katiany Correia, interpreter of Alice Ripoll's 'Zona Franca', will lead 'Então, joga!' (So, play!), a workshop that combines Rio street movements with the sound of Rio funk.

On 24 and 25 April, choreographer Jeremy Nedd sets out from his show, 'from rock to rock... aka how magnolia was taken from granite' to explore millie rock - a viral dance movement linked to a hip-hop song and rapper 2 Milly.

On the same days, Jefta van Dinther and Juan Pablo Cámara will share some of the performing practices underlying their work through a 'choreography of attention'.

Radouan Mriziga appears for the first time at DDD and will lead a practice on 26 and 27 April, intended to be a rhythmic journey linking ancestral knowledge and fostering interpersonal connections.

On 28 April, choreographer Jan Martens will lead 'Embodying the voice', a research workshop based on the creative process underlying his show 'VOICE NOISE'.

On the second week of the festival, it's the turn of Connor Scott – co-creator of the 'Vida e Obra' (Life and Work) play by João dos Santos Martins – to lead a workshop on the relationship between movement, voice and resonance, building a live body archive.

Amanda Piña will be at CAMPUS PCS twice: with the workshop 'Exotica – Embodying the brown lineage of European dance' (30 April), where the dances of artists from the 1920s will be embodied, representing the historical legacy of racialised people performing on the stages of European performance venues, and with the workshop 'Towards a Practice of Compossession' (1 May), where compossession operates as a movement for decolonising the senses.

Flamenco also has a place at DDD, namely with La Chachi's practice on 'Flamenco for non-flamenco bodies' on 1 and 2 May.

Designed for people involved in street movements (breaking, capoeira, graffiti, rap, skateboarding, etc.), the Original Bomber Crew will direct 'Dança Quebrada' (Broken Dance), which starts from capoeira and breaking as important elements in the creative processes of their shows.

Vânia Doutel Vaz is also returning to DDD, this time with a workshop on CAMPUS, from 29 April to 3 May. Another eagerly awaited return to DDD CAMPUS is the vogue workshops, taking place on Saturday 4 May with German Father David Elle (Old Way) and Legendary Mother Kendall Miyake-Mugle (Vogue FEM).

But DDD CAMPUS is not all about physical exercise: on 2 May, Ana Rita Xavier, Aura and Joana Couto will offer a space for conversation, sharing and demystifying themes related to the state of art and culture, seeking to launch topics, questions and problems. This activity is free and open to anyone who wants to join.

All the practices taking place at CAMPUS Paulo Cunha e Silva as part of DDD – Festival Dias da Dança require purchasing tickets at ddd.bol.pt.
