April 9 :Barco Dance Collection / Dinis Machado (PT/SE)

Barco Dance Collection is a project were Dinis Machado invites other choreographers, to create short solos for himself as a dancer.

After performing fragments of BARCO Dance Collection in five different locations in the city, Dinis Machado comes back to Weld for a ultimate 4 hours presentation of the full collection of dances made until now for BARCO. A durational performance where his body is crossed by the short dances created by 13 different choreographers.

In a long investigation about being a dancer Dinis simultaneously will look for the performer each dance asks for, while navigating through an afternoon of 4 hours of dance where accuracy and embodiment are in continuous negociation. Join us for some dances or for the full afternoon!

Born in Portugal, Dinis Machado has presented in Stockholm throughout the spring 2017 diferent small groups of works from BARCO Dance Collection in different locations, drawing a map of his relation with the city of Stockholm where he is based since 2012.

Avoiding touristic evidencies, Dinis performed small groups of works under Liljeholms Bron, at Rönnels Antiqvariat, at Norra Hamarbinhamnen, at the Queer club FIST and at Folkkulturcentrum unfolding his history and relation with the city through a narrative of citizenship.

Barco Dance Collection is a collection of dances rather than a collection of dance performances (in the interdisciplinary sense of a stage performance where light, sound, set and costume build something together).

The proposal for the choreographers invited is to think that the space where these dances happen is not the room we are in, but within the body itself.

This is a collection of dances where dance is looked and worked on as an autonomous discipline.
