Dancer, performer and dance creator Francisca Pinto proposes answers to the question ‘What does it take?’, an activity organised by the Futurama School. In Mértola, on 17 December, she proposes exploring individual and participatory forms of choreographic expression, with a sensory and visual approach, with the community of the Senior University of Mértola.
This activity is part of the Futurama School, which promotes dialogue between artists and different communities in the Baixo Alentejo, including secondary school students and vulnerable groups. In previous editions, it brought photographer João Melo aka Glantosz, multidisciplinary artist Marta Lança, director and playwright Lígia Soares, performer and choreographer Filipa Francisco and visual artist Horácio Frutuoso to Beja, Castro Verde, Serpa and Vidigueira.
