0.6 Bodies and Language for a garden and a city: Dance workshop with Melissa Pérez Sousa
This workshop is divided into two moments, for two places: the Gardens of Palácio de Cristal and the urban surroundings of Galeria Municipal do Porto.Through the temporal space of a body in movement, we'll propose new ways of representing the architecture and social language of a city.How can dance be shown in a public space? If the city is traversed by different speeds, by car, on foot, by bicycle, how can you give a certain velocity to bodies that dance? A square, a garden or a public building have different scales and logics of occupation. In this workshop we will rehearse these variations and contaminate each place with our passage.Melissa Pérez Sousa was born and raised in Venezuela. She studied Contemporary Dance Performance in Caracas and Social Dances of the African Diaspora (Urban Drumming, Hip Hop, House, Tap and Body Percussion) in New York. As a performer, she has worked with Sandrine Lescourant, Dana Foglia, Ladies of Hip Hop Festival, Alvin Alley School, Jorge Gonçalves, Joclécio Azevedo, Catarina Campos, Marco da Silva Ferreira, Jonas & Lander, Bouziane Bouteldja, Jep Melendez. She is the creator of En el Vacío (2017) and co-creator of BOWND (2019) and PLAYGROUND.Starting in Matosinhos and Porto, she founded the pedagogical project YOLK - Free Styler Dance Project with Catarina Campos, focusing on improvisation through Street and Club Dances that take place in the urban public space. She is currently developing the solo project TAMBOR, which was recently in artistic residency at the Paulo Cunha e Silva Campus.Image: Renato Cruz Santos -

Oficina Pedrêz
Blues of our time
The duo behind the project, Matilde Cabral and Francisco Fonseca, conceived the different blues according to multiple meanings: from the ideas of Louis Kahn when who said that "a square is nothing more than a façade facing the sky", to the reference to the blue objects that, inexplicably, resisted the fires in Maui, Hawaii; one can even recognise on those surfaces the continental masses and oceans that permeate the planet.Oficina Pedrêz is an experimental architecture studio in the fields of material research and human ecologies. It was founded by the fashion designer Matilde Cabral and the architect Francisco Fonseca in 2020, following the fusion of the “Porto Fashion Office” development studio and the “Skrei” experimental architecture office. Pedrêz takes its name from a breed of chicken native to northern Portugal and Cantabria – the pedrês chicken – in recognition of its fundamental role in the human and urban ecology of these regions. Pedrêz is an integrative architecture workshop, with a particular focus on architectural devices and self-built projects, bringing together various lines of applied research, such as cultivable building materials and the development of self-sufficient domestic infrastructures.A project commissioned by Galeria Municipal do Porto / Ágora – Cultura e Desporto, do Porto E.M., S.A.
