VÉRTICE
BRASIL, women’s theatre meeting and festival, will assemble
in Florianópolis, in July 2008.
Artists from several regions in Brazil and from neighbouring
countries, creating a local version for The Magdalena Project, a
dynamic cross-cultural network of women’s theatre and performance
that in the last twenty years has created opportunities of artistic
collaboration and mutual support, having accomplished several meetings
and festivals all around the world. With this event, we intend to
create conditions for settling this network in Brazil and find new
perspectives relating to the visibility and the thought of a feminine
regard in contemporary theatre.
This event has been organized by a staff, coordinated
by Marisa Naspolini. This group has been meeting since 2004, discussing
and acting around this theme – the feminine in performance. Promoted
by Áprika Cooperativa de Arte. Supported by CEART-UDESC and
Fundação Catarinense de Cultura.
Organization commitee:
Barbara Biscaro, Cleide de Oliveira, Marisa Naspolini, Monica Siedler
and Nilce Silva.

1) presentation of theatre productions;
2) meetings and conferences;
3) workshops to participants;
