This project reflects about the constant and porous movement between imagery vision, body behavior and artistic creation. Seeking to define an axis between the occult interior and a skin contour, in this dynamic dichotomy the Body is seen as a cognitive entity, emitter\u2014receiver of a multi-apparitional flux of visions. The initiative to portray choreographers, through film, after being induced to \u201cdream-like\u201d states, through physical and sound activation, potentiates the idea of accessing the \u201cblack boxes\u201d of these visionary bodies, promoting the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system and the appearance of subconscious speeches.\nThe immersive sessions are inspired as a starting point, in multiple processes of becoming SHAMAN, where the initiatory events are widely reported through physical and mental travels and symbolic death, normally implying a descending movement, the dismemberment of the body and a final ascension. This is an ongoing project created by Catarina Miranda and produced by Materiais Diversos (Lisbon). For the first round of portraits we have chosen 7 choreographers who\u2019s imagery dimensions are very present in their own works: Ana Isabel Castro, Ana Rita Teodoro, Ant\u00f3nio Pedro Lopes, Cristina Planas Leit\u00e3o, Marco da Silva Ferreira, Laura Kirshenbaum, Volmir Cordeiro.","space":"The installation is composed by 2 video projections (4:3) and a inflatable sculpture with the shape of a whale, a double-headed chimerical and post-atomic body, placed in the vertical, similar to the position in which whales sleep. The ideal space would be a room or darken area of around {15m large X 6m depth X 5,30m high} where 2 projection screens, a inflatable sculpture, as well as 2 video projectors, 1 rotative engine and 1 light projector are hanged at the ceiling or truss.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/423711146","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/cobracoralinfo\/down-there-improvisation","images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":6,"names":"Catarina","surname":"Miranda","email":"sara.abrantes@materiaisdiversos.com","dni_type":"CI","dni":"12192789","address":"Espa\u00e7o Alkantara - Cal\u00e7ada Marqu\u00eas de Abrantes 99 1200-718","city":"Lisbon","nacionality":"Portuguese","country_id":"185","birthdate":"1982-03-04T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1982-03-04T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+351 915227787","web":"https:\/\/catarinaamiranda.com\/"}
