- Write what do you expect and your needs for the project (Artistic, Transport, Technique ….) :

I expect to gather with artists from different areas to communicate, to create synergies and investigate in common. For that I believe it's important to set points of gathering and invest in common, even if it's for a few days, one day, one week. I am looking for places in Portugal as cultural centers, squads, rooms, rural houses in order to promote this artistic reunions to investigate together and with invited artists from these areas in Portugal. I plan to do the project on bicycle moving and travelling through rural areas and stopping in places that I mentioned before to get together with other artists from the project. So for the needs, in this moment I'm self-managing ;)

My objectives for the project in Portugal are:

Meet, communicate, learn, connect with people living in Portuguese rural areas, colect oral portuguese tradiciones as songs, story tells, legends, proverbs;

Integrate, investigate, apply this material in my personal artistic research and create performance using the words, the emotions, the colors, the images gathered in the process of travelling and meeting people in Portuguese countryside

Exchange experiences and research with other artists from the project in Portugal

Organize spaces in Portugal for collective research, artistic investigation like cultural centers, squads, associations,...

Organize meeting with all participants in the project for exchanging and presenting ideas, performances, whatever that each one discovered and developed trough those 45 days in Portugal
