Dance collectives release video dances in honor of Brazilian culture

Know to value. Based on this principle, Coletivo Emaranhado and Grupo Estirpe set up the videodance project “Vitória X Mucurici: Approaching Knowledge", result of the choreographic residency in the city of Mucurici (ES). With the participation of more than 25 professionals, the idea is to bridge the gap between them dance groups, recognizing the trajectories in dance and expanding the Espírito Santo scenic art market.

"Our objective was to encourage discussion and dialogue about artistic productions of shows, scenes and choreographic compositions of groups from Espírito Santo that are in different cultural scenarios, even though belonging to the same Espírito Santo cartography. We put into practice a programmatic content through virtual and practical means that unites the scenic performance, the theatrical direction, the theory and aesthetics of the performing arts and also the scenography and choreography”, explains Maicom Souza, one of the dancers participating in the Coletivo Emaranhado.

The groups met in 2016, when the Coletivo Emaranhado went to the city of Mucurici, located in the northeastern micro-region of Espírito Santos, in order to present the show Ser (So). Local production was the responsibility of the director of Grupo Estirpe, Fabrício Santos, and from this contact, the groups began to strengthen ties and, from there to here, started planning a partnership.

"The main proposal of the project ‘Vitória X Mucurici: Approaching Knowledge’ is to provide artists with contact with different audiences – the North Region and the Metropolitan in Espírito Santo – in order to train participants for professional practice by using the exchange of experiences of the daily artistic practices of each group", define Maicom.

In addition to the “Being (So)”, of the Tangled Collective (Win / ES) and "Telling Stories", of the Theater and Dance Group Estirpe, Thematic conversation wheels were also created., workshops, workshops and academic articles.
