Les risques liés aux stages intensifs de danse

Centro em movimento (c.e.m.) invites artists, researchers, and dancers to participate in "The Risk of Dancing Intensive", a two‑month program in Lisbon that explores the evolving concept of the body through movement and dance. The intensive runs from 12 October to 18 December 2026 and focuses on experimental practice, critical reflection, and collaborative creation. Applicants are expected to submit a portfolio that includes a written, audio, or video exercise reflecting their life history and a vision of what could emerge from the experience, along with a CV. The application process is conversational, with meetings and discussions rather than a formal application form. The program costs €600, payable in up to three instalments of €200. No stipend, housing, or travel support is provided. The intensive is open to artists and researchers in dance and movement studies, with no explicit age or nationality restrictions. The deadline for applications is 30 September 2026. The program is hosted by Centro em movimento, a research centre in Lisbon dedicated to the study of the body, movement, and the common through interdisciplinary dialogue. The programme is grounded in the idea that dance is a poetry of gesture that emerges from being‑with, and it encourages participants to move, write, and question their own practice. It is not a conventional residency but an intensive workshop that fosters a community of practice and critical inquiry.
