DiversosIn Practice
IN PRACTICE is a summer school focused in the performing arts field, for both artists and researchers, co-organized by Materiais Diversos and the Centre for Theatre Studies (FLUL). It’s an annual meeting where, deliberately, no distinction is made between theory and practice as a way to re-evaluate and re-inscribe our actions, as individuals as well as professionals, in a world driven towards effectiveness, acceleration and competition. We thus propose to embody one of the great challenges of the present time, to re-learn how to speak to each other, to re-learn how to make.

Parliament of questions for a political body: who has one?
With Volmir Cordeiro, Gustavo Vicente e Rui Pina Coelho
Because it doesn’t interest us (here, now) to define a political body, we propose the establishment of a parliament of individual and/or collective questions that may be addressed to the notions of body and politics, as well as their many intersections. We suggest a parliament in what it has of an assembly of members that speak (parlent), preach and expose themselves when presenting propositions of social change. We consider that speech is at the centre of the political body: who speaks, who is heard, who is understood, who is followed and for what reasons? To speak, to discuss, to listen and to question are the basic tools to act IN PRACTICE in democracy: which speeches matter and through what means do they express? The criteria which envelopes this encounter is that politics is not just for specialized managers nor about seeking for a docile agreement between oppositions; politics is something in the body, and being in the body is something for all the people.
