Woods / Bosque is an artistic call for environmental awareness. A research that brings together dance and visual arts to create a unique landscape in the cities, pursuing the idea of impermanence and instability of the body, nature, climate and collective practices. It's a large-scale open air performance that engages local people to make a powerful and strong statement. While upside down, the body inverts space and questions time. For how long can the body resist? For how long can the forest resist?
Clarice Lima, Catarina Saraiva, Nina Fajdiga and Aline Bonamin are female artists from different countries, with different backgrounds, who came together to develop this project. Their practices move between performance, choreography, dramaturgy and curatorship, with strong creative forces and desires.
Clarice Lima (1983, Fortaleza/ Brazil) is a dancer, choreographer, teacher and director. She graduated from Amsterdam School of Arts/ MTD (2006, Netherlands) and her trajectory is marked by an intense artistic production, with national and international visibility. With her dance platform FUTURA she develops partnerships and creative strategies, moving between the languages of dance, performance and visual arts.
