Workshop in Contemporary Urban Dance:
March 14, 2026
Saturday, from 2 PM to 4 PM.

Border Bodies investigates the limits — physical, symbolic, and social — that cut across bodies in contemporary Brazil. The work seeks to reflect on the plurality of bodies that call these borders into question: Black people, women, homosexuals, and people from the periphery come together, believing that together their individualities are enhanced, creating possible microcracks for understanding the world today. In times marked by social and symbolic distancing, the work proposes crossing these borders beyond the physicality that separates territories, affirming a longing for meeting, for recognizing one’s own body as a border, and for (s)cinesthetic experience as a ritual of sharing. By acknowledging a depiction of the human condition as essentially collective, Border Bodies affirms the need to be together, to seek interactions, associations, and ways of coexisting. In the scene, hierarchies between social roles are tested and, in the best-case scenarios, questioned and reconfigured, making room for new forms of relationship, listening, and presence.
