Cláudia Dias words on the workshop:
THE WORKSHOP The workshop is a place where a trade, an art, a profession is undertaken, in other words, it is a place of work. It is a laboratorial space where not only are “objects” produced but more effective ways of producing are rehearsed, so as to create a final product that better meets the needs of those who acquire it. In my view, this principle also applies to the domain of the theatre and of the performing arts in general. As such, this workshop shall be a place of work where a trade, which is performing, is undertaken. I present it as a pre-art space which questions, in practice, ways of performing. It is thus a workshop of theoretical-practical reflection on performing.
CLÁUDIA DIAS Was born in Lisbon in 1972. She is a choreographer, performer, and teacher. She is currently completing her Master’s degree in Performing Arts at Universidade Nova de Lisboa. She began her dance training at Academia Almadense and received a scholarship to continue her training with Companhia de Dança de Lisboa. She completed the training program for Contemporary Dance performers at Fórum Dança and the Professional Course in Management of Cultural Organizations and Projects organized by Cultideias. She began working as a performer with Grupo de Dança de Almada. She was part of the artists’ collective Ninho de Víboras. She collaborated with Re.Al and was a key performer in João Fiadeiro’s work and in the development, systematization, and transmission of the technique of Real-time Composition. Dias created the following pieces: One Woman Show, Visita Guiada, Das coisas nascem coisas, Vontade De Ter Vontade, and Nem tudo o que dizemos tem de ser feito nem tudo o que fazemos tem de ser dito. She developed the educational project Nesta Parte Esquinada da Península with Azala, Muelle 3, La Fundición, and Festival BAD.

Her work as a choreographer, performer, and teacher has been presented by many organizations, theaters, and festivals in Portugal and abroad.
