The presence of word in dance with Henrique Furtado Vieira / O Rumo do Fumo
4 - 7 November from 6.30pm to 9.30pm
Espaço da Penha, Travessa do Calado 26B, Lisbon/Portugal
30€ per participant
What if words could dance? What if the body could speak?
In this workshop, we explore how words – spoken, disjointed, invented – can inhabit the body and transform dance. More than a narrative resource, words emerge as a physical presence, as a gesture that vibrates and alters the quality of movement.
Through theatre and dance practices, improvisations and performative games, we investigate the tension and dialogue between body and language: how movement gives body to words and how words, in turn, can reconfigure movement.
Open to anyone who dances, speaks, writes or simply wants to experiment with new modes of expression, this workshop is an invitation to discover how body and word feed off each other in the same creative impulse.

Henrique Furtado Vieira
Graduated in energy and environmental engineering, currently a dancer, performer and choreographer, Henrique Furtado Vieira lives in Lisbon. He carried out his artistic training in several French institutions (INSA Lyon, Extensions – CDC Toulouse, Prototype II and Dialogues III – Royaumont abbey). He develops his artistic practice mainly between choreographic creation and collaboration as a performer with various artists such as Bleuène Madelaine, Eric Languet, Aurélien Richard, Céline Cartillier, Tino Sehgal, Salomé Lamas, Ana Renata Polónia, André Uerba, Sofia Dias & VÃtor Roriz, Vera Mantero, Boris Charmatz e Tania Soubry. From time to time, he dedicates himself to research, pedagogy and writing in relation to dance, in different contexts and through multiple partnerships (O Rumo do Fumo, Unlock Dancing Plaza, Ballet Contemporâneo do Norte, Colectivo 84, Comédias do Minho, GrETUA...), and more recently he has been involved as a dramaturg in the choreographies of Nicolas Hubert (Compagnie Épiderme) and Giulia Arduca (Compagnie Ke Kosa). He curated the second edition of the MATÉRIA project, together with Catarina Vieira and Josefa Pereira, organizing meetings, open to the community, on a monthly basis, to share artistic practices. His works are often created in synergy with other artists such as Bibi Ha Bibi, with Aloun Marchal, Stand still you ever-moving spheres of heaven, with Chiara Taviani, or To Die for Little Birds, with LÃgia Soares. In his shows / performances, the overlapping of styles and genres, the vocal presence in dance and the space(s) of imagination have a prominent place. He has collaborated and presented his work in institutions such as Aerowaves, CDC Toulouse, Göteborg Theater and Dance Festival, Roma Europa Festival, DNA Network, Porto Municipal Theater, Temps d’Image Festival, Espaço do Tempo, CCB, among others.
