Dance Residency at the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro
The RioMont Art and Culture Association is also carrying out, at the same time, a Dance Residency project at the Municipal Theater in Rio de Janeiro. Started this December, the project continues throughout 2024 – registrations are still open (information on the website riomont.com.br).

Company members will be selected from participants in the artistic residency.
A residência artística é voltada para artistas de todo o estado do Rio de Janeiro, interested in investigating their skills with professionals from the artistic staff of Theatro Municipal, considered the main music venue in Brazil and one of the most important in South America, as well as professionals linked to the RioMont Art and Culture Association.
The residence is part of the body investigation, dance, movement, physical expression, performance, corporal creative dramaturgy and the intersection with musical arts. A group has already been formed, who is working collectively throughout the process period, led by teachers and choreographers Marcia Delgado, dancer with extensive experience in traditional Chinese dance, and Anderson Dionísio, dancer for more than 30 years at the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro.
After the end of residency, a circuit of presentations will be held, starting at the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro and extending to other cultural spaces in the city and state of Rio de Janeiro. The project is carried out through cooperation between the Fundação Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro and the RioMont Association of Art and Culture, via Culture Incentive Law – Rouanet Law and is sponsored by the Chinese company, CNPC.
