Immersion with Ciane Fernandes (UFBA)
For the sixth edition of the programming cycle Practices of Encounter, the Center for Theater Studies (CET/FLUL) and the acting studio O Canto do Bode are organizing the immersion “Somatic-Performative Approach, Intermodality, and Counter-Colonial Research” with Ciane Fernandes (Federal University of Bahia – UFBA). This immersion aims to explore the principles of the Somatic-Performative Approach, applied to key contemporary issues, in the relational context of intermodality in Practice as Research. Through embodied ethical- aesthetic processes, social equality begins with expanded cellular intelligence, in the Body-Environment Immersion, and the fluid transit between plural cultural fields that include living writings.
Audience
Artist-researchers (especially artists of the body, stage and performance) and those interested, from any field, in research through intermodal body movement.

Ciane Fernandes is a full professor at the Theatre School of the Federal University of Bahia and one of the founders of the Postgraduate Programme in Performing Arts at this university; she is also a professor in the Postgraduate Programme in Dance at UFBA; she holds a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Arts & Humanities for Performers from New York University (1992 and 1995); a post-doctorate in Contemporary Communication and Culture from UFBA (2010) and is a Movement Analyst at the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies (1994), where she is an associate researcher. She is the author of several publications, performance talks and immersions in Brazil and abroad, including with members of the A-FETO Dance-Theatre Collective, which she founded and has directed since 1997. Since 2008, she has focused on Somatics and the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System applied to Artistic Practice as Research, in the context of performance in an expanded field, especially ecoperformance in aquatic environments, in dialogue with diversity and disability. In this thematic field, she has developed the Somatic-Performative Approach and Immersion as Research.
Práticas de Encontro is a programming cycle promoted by the Centre for Theatre Studies of the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon and the performance studio O Canto do Bode with a view to exploring the epistemological, affective and creative scope that encounters between different people and collectives can provide. We are particularly interested in experimenting with alternative practices of coexistence, dialogue and recognition of the lived experience of relating to others as a way of creating possible worlds.
Canto do Bode (www.ocantodobode.com) is a studio in Lisbon dedicated to the development of processes and studies on acting, the psychophysical improvement of the actor/actress-performer and the development of artistic projects.
The Centre for Theatre Studies (www.ceteatro.pt) has been a privileged venue for artistic research activities and the training of researchers in the study of theatre since 1994. It is an organic unit of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon (FLUL), to which several of its members belong, and which also includes researchers and collaborators from other universities and schools in the country, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and theatre professionals.
