Our Shows
The Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz, a classic of the cinema, had a production worthy of the main dance circuits and was presented by Dance Workshop during the last months of 2016, in Orlândia, Miguelópolis and Guaíra. It was the 15th show of the Dance Workshop, a project from the Oswaldo Ribeiro de Mendonça Institute – IORM, and a realization from the Ministry of Culture, IORM and Josy Ribeiro de Mendonça Arts and Crafts. The Show was the result of one year of hard work from the students and educators of Dance Workshop that together built the characters. The students from Dance Workshop participated in classes of ballet, jazz, contemporary dance, theater and literature. Marcos Pavel, a professional, signed the scenic make-up and brought to life the main characters of the Show.
The Beauty and the Beast
Dance Workshop presented, in Orlândia, Miguelópolis and Guaíra, its version of “The Beauty and the Beast”. The show included also “Divertissement”, gathering five different choreographies. In Orlândia, the students painted on Dance Workshop walls scenes and characters related to the show. In Miguelópolis, the students participated in the creation of the play with the objective of stimulating the imagination, companionship and discipline. Based on the story, the students created new lines, and with technical guidance, divided themselves to be directors, producers and actors, recreating the fairy tale. In Guaíra, the main activity for the students of Dance Workshop was around questions and answers about the film.
Querença
The trajectory of the show Querença, started in 2014 by Dance Workshop, continued in 2015 doing its rounds in public spaces of Orlândia, Guaíra and Miguelópolis. Querença is about going back in time, based on the present time, provoking the reunion of the regional community with its roots and common identity. The presence of people and the manifestations of admiration were the common ground of the presentations. In an artistic format, the urban intervention told the saga of the residents who helped to build the towns in the region of Alta Mogiana. It was a cultural, historic and affective rescue of the recent past of these towns, put together with dance, music and theater, occupying the streets, resulting in going back in time using a daring and innovative esthetics.
