dança não dança
The book accompanying the exhibition dance not dance – archaeologies of the new dance in Portugal, which will run from November 2024 to January 2025, proposes two crossings of the 20th and early 21st centuries: one through an atlas of images, reproducing hundreds of documents, and the other through a series of essays and conversations. Compiling research on different dance manifestations in the country during this same period, the book contributes to the exercise of tracing archaeologies for what was called, in the 1990s, New Portuguese Dance.
Designed by Ana Baliza, in collaboration with Mariana Veloso, the book includes contributions from various artists and researchers, including republications and unpublished texts, as well as a vast number of documents from various sources (public and private archives, many personal or from dance structures in the country).
Short Story 'Broken and reeking, are the pebbles' for The Forgotten Stories of Manuel Milho X
"Amidst the pebbles, thurr where some broken bodies are, in the other day a pebble of the size of a tree fell over one’s foot, poor guy, he kept three fingers of his right limb, despite his left was already limping, sciatica’s fault, that or the babes that made him lose himself in wine. It smells dirty, there are pebbles everywhere, lame bodies sleep under the sun, one can’t stand it anymore. The little one’s squinting friend yesterday was saying we was going to hell, this is hell he wanted to scream. "
anda, diana
In the house with the broken window, I brush the dirt off my socks and boots.
Someone comes upstairs.
I keep quiet.
At the table, I recall the conversation with all those who have died.
I wake up.
A somersault, a fall backwards, my feet hooking onto the rope. My feet miss the ropes and my fingertips break my fall. My head snaps back, my neck hits the mattress, I hear the sound of bones snapping. My body shuts down. My body levitates. My legs float, my arms move and I feel nothing.
I’m on fire. My shoulders ache. I feel my collarbones pressed against my neck and my joints short-circuiting. They’re burning me.

Experiencing the Body
In the wake of the viral pandemic, I wrote an article entitled ‘Experiencing the Body’ at the invitation of João Martins dos Santos for the third edition of Coreia. The issues are free of charge and you can find out who distributes them on the website.
CLOSE TO ONES OWN BODY
My new article is out in page 59.
In a resilient state of social distancing, becomes undeniable the knowledge and need for and from touch.
In this issue of CARE WHERE? // Not Only From The Neck Up, we are giving special attention to our terrestrial experiences. To all that is close to Earth and to the body.
We are landing with our feet, belly and face on the dirt, aware that independent of how much we wander about cosmos, infinite, transcendence, etc., our point of departure and our point of return is this few layers of the so called, Critical Zone. The area with couple of thousand kilometres where life is able to exist and thrive – the atmosphere. Atmosphere which we form and also breath from, the basic immersive medium we all share.
Let what we embody be known, let our sensorial, intimate mixtures notice that underneath each fact there are moving and morphing feelings, the world is substance. This is a special issue, each collaborator offered their sensitivity with creative openness and profound trust, a clear display of our need for interconnection.
Soften your mind, gets cozy, allow this issue to permeate you and enjoy it.
