DiversosNovos Materiais
NOVOS MATERIAIS is a consultancy support for dance projects that exists since 2018, through which Materiais Diversos aims to strengthen and systematize the support for artists working in this area, providing resources and experience in terms of production, dissemination, attracting funding and communication.
Each year, through an open call, a project is selected from a person or group resident in Portugal, with no ties to a production structure, who will benefit from production consultancy by the Materiais Diversos team based on a jointly defined work plan and objectives.
The consultancy includes:
– Funding search
– Financial management
– Planning
– Production
– Communication
– Sharing methodologies and tools
– Bi-Weekly meetings
– Definition of objectives and progress reports
Since 2023, this support has also provided, in partnership with Estúdios Victor Córdon (Lisbon) and UMCOLETIVO (Portalegre):
– Creation support worth €1,000;
– A two-week artistic residency in June at Teatro do Convento/Portalegre;
– A two-week artistic residency, from September 2 to 13, at the EVC/Lisbon;
– Possibility of an informal presentation at the end of the residencies, if relevant to the project;
– Possibility of technical and dramaturgical support from UMCOLETIVO, if relevant to the project.
