Dancing Puppets
25 February | 11.am| 120’
Families with children between 8-13 years old
Venue 2
Wooden construction workshop
Design and orientation: Maria Ribeiro and Sara Luz
Is it a dancer or a filmmaker? A spectator or a dreamer? A child or an adult? In this workshop, we discovered what the dancers look like in Cecília Meireles’ poem “A bailarina”. Will they be big or small, boys or girls? We worked on creativity and three dimensionality, combining different types of woods to create a unique puppet.

Venue 2
(Wooden construction workshop)
Design and orientation: Maria Ribeiro and Sara Luz
Starting from Cecília Meireles’ poem “Ou isto ou aquilo” we all began with a common object, a wooden shoe form. These moulds were used by old shoemakers to create many different shoes. However, this time, using our creativity and imagination we transformed them.
Animation workshop
Taking Cecília Meireles’ poems as a basis, participants used the stop-motion technique to make proposals of animations. All participants were invited to try this technique and encouraged to bring their perspectives on the proposed poems and materials to life. In the end, they saw the films they made with their newly acquired knowledge regarding animation practice and from Meireles’ reflections in her poems of childhood.
A collective exercise that stimulates individual and group creativity, including that of the parents, who are invited to participate.
All is well…

Based on the film ÁGUAS DO PASTAZA we entered the forest to discover how a narrative is built through images and sounds.
Among the trees, the fruit, the mushrooms, and the insects, we imagined what was not shown to us visually. Could we hear it?
From here we can also try to describe something…
