The work, now named GHAZAL ( formerly "Virtual Dervishes"), was supposed to
open in Rio in September, but , since the theatre where it is going to be
performed, Teatro Sergio Porto, is under renovation, it was postponed to
December 16. So, if anyone still feels the desire to collaborate, but
thought it was too late, please write and let's discuss the possibilities.
On the other hand, answering the article placed on the list about
collaborations for the Movement Research journal issue about dance and tech,
I've submit the possibility of an article about this first experience of
sharing my creative process with people that I don't even know and that
don't know me either! For this, I proposed to send an article that, aside
from my experience, would also include statements of the people that are
collaborating with me. I think this may encourage other people to do the
same. For me , I can say in advance, it has been an inspiring experience.
Sincerely, Regina
PS specially to the "Brazilians in the list": My welcome to the third
one!:-); I'm curious about what you do and where do you live and would find
it interesting if we could collaborate...
