Festival
✕

The Materiais Diversos Festival promotes the meeting of different audiences and imaginaries around the arts (dance, theatre, music and performance) with thought, questioning actuality and fostering cultural participation as a condition for citizenship. Born in Minde, in 2009, it spread to Alcanena and Cartaxo (in 2013) and became one of the most representative projects for programming outside the large centres in Portugal, attempting to think and act from the places it originates. It had been occurring annually until 2017 and became a biannual event starting with its 10th edition in 2019.

From the 3rd to the 12th of October 2025, the Festival Materiais Diversos will be in Alcanena and Minde with a program of dance, theater and music shows, installations and conversations.

Projectos

Inês Galvão Teles

The workshop uses theater and dance tools based on the theme of isolation and depression/ sadness, trying to develop relationship and fitting strategies for both situations: integrating personal or family sadness into our lives, and integrating, as an example, someone foreign, someone who comes from outside. We will work from the Viewpoints and Suzuki methods.
The Viewpoints Method is based on an improvisation that comes from dance to theater and works, in a physical way, over space and time. This method makes it possible to improvise, but also to deepen the external awareness of the movement.
The Suzuki Method, on the other hand, is an oriental methodology that works mainly at the level of internal movement awareness. It is based on exercises that allow to develop greater control over the center of the body, breathing, voice in relation to fiction.
This workshop will also do a research around the theatre piece “Peça Feliz e Directa Sobre a Tristeza”.

Participation is free, but subject to mandatory registration, until March 27
