RONDA
2023
Ronda is a 20km long walk on the Santa Catarina Mountain (Penha). It begins and ends at the Avenida Garage Gallery, passing symbolically at the Lapinha Sanctuary, in Calvos, Guimarães.
The experience, not intending to mimic the actual pilgrinage and the clamor of the Senhora da Lapinha that takes place in mid-June in the territory of Guimarães, seeks to inscribe in space and body a walk simultaneously collective and individual. From self-perception of the performance to the creation of motor images that include sharing with the other, Ronda proposes a contribution to the development of the aesthetic dimension in Motor Imagination.
ENTRE CAMPI – FLUID CROSSINGS
2022
This workshop is based on an experience of a long walk (+-25km) between Guimarães and Braga, particularly between the Universitary Campi. A timeless walk will develop and return the sense of pleasure of walking in a common everyday move and develop the awareness of the diversity of the landscape stimuli. During the walk 7 waterways will be crossed. In each crossing the properties of fluids will be evoked by the context of the surroundings. Along the path there are also two key points in which water, but not exclusively, is the main reason for their existence.
motto
Dreaming near the river, I consecrated my imagination to water, to green and clear water, to water that greens the meadows. I cannot sit by a stream without falling into a deep reverie, without revisiting my bliss…
It doesn’t have to be the stream of our house, the water of our house.
home. The anonymous water knows all the secrets. The same memory comes out of every spring.
