We have been traveling and dancing together since 2017, our group of dancers, gardeners, philosophers, independent artists scattered throughout Europe, every summer meet to do research together, each time immersed in a different landscape. After getting lost in the cork groves of Alentejo, dancing naked in the church of Belmonte, after seeing the swans swinging on the cold waves of the Baltic Sea and shivering at the foot of Etna, this year we will witness sudden increases in splendor under the starry sky of UK. From 5 to 10 of July we will have the honor of being hosted in the former astronomical observatory of Bidstone, currently young and active Artistic Research Centre located in the countryside of Liverpool.
We are happy to invite you to COSMICA, the brightest dance residency in our solar system🪐 From the cycle #lugares, diários de corpos e paisagens. Limited places.
