Workshops
The dance workshops aim to disseminate contemporary dance within the community, and, in a playful way, to make the body and movement known, to travel a little through the history of dance and to bring generations together.
These formations are aimed at various ages, circulate in diverse contexts, and can adapt to theaters, museums, and experimental rooms. They can be presented in a single session, or in several sessions, be presented or not in performance contexts. They are aimed at the general public and the educational community.
There are other workshops that do not appear in these descriptions; in case of interest please contact us.
Little Poems – Training with the educational community
In the scope of the project Little Poems Outside (LPO) a training session directed to the educational community is proposed. This training is theoretical and practical in nature in which the video-poems Seed’s Life and The Window of Sensations are analyzed and tools on dance are transmitted to educators so that this learning is integrated into the programmatic content.
Following the training, activities will be implemented with students based on guidelines provided by the artistic team, with the aim of exploring the contents of the video-poems. The activities, although facilitated by the educators, are guided by a script provided by the team containing suggestions for exercises and reflection clues. The implementation phase will be monitored by Marina Nabais or Carla Ribeiro, who will make available a fixed number of hours to answer questions during the implementation process. At the end, an evaluation of the results will be done with the teachers.
In previous stages of the project, training courses were also developed in the scope of Little Poems of Now (LPN) and Little Poems of Now – Lab (LPN-Lab). More about LPN and LPN-Lab here.

Poems in Motion
Poems in Movement corresponds to one of the core activities of the show In White.
In this In White place, an intimate space is shared through movement, in which one is invited to enter an unknown time, with proposals to explore themes inherent to this very particular place. It is investigated solo, in pairs and in groups, until it reaches a small collective composition.
Orientation Marina Nabais
Duration 1h30/2h00
Target group Intergenerational workshop, M/6 years old
Impro-wise
Improvisational dance sessions, where movement is the basis for research and creation.
The first part is composed of a directed warm-up, which brings attention to the body, the space, the time and the other participants, in the search for a sense of collective. Next, a set of tasks/proposals are given related to some themes of improvisation that will take place immediately afterwards, in an open format, and with live music.
These sessions have a beginning, middle and end, so it is not necessary to have participated in previous sessions. They are for anyone interested (and curious) in movement, dance, theater, and improvisation techniques.
Level open to all backgrounds.
Orientation Marina Nabais
Calendar and venue On a quarterly basis, alternately in Almada and Lisbon
Next session: December 16, in the afternoon (time to be defined), at Casa da Juventude – Ponto de Encontro, Cacilhas

Workshops developed with the Education Service of the Douro Museum
Since 2011, Marina Nabais has been collaborating with the Education Service of the Douro Museum, directed by Marisa Adegas and Samuel Guimarães.
This collaboration is based on proposals of design and construction of workshops for schools with which the SE works throughout the year, as well as a reflection and sharing of tools in the area of movement/dance for the team and also for the educational community of this region.
