Four performers will join the team already composed of André Uerba (artistic director), Manoela Rangel (performer and artistic assistant) and Kristen Meyers (sound design).

The performance, which “investigates structures, policies and practices of intimacy”, aims to calibrate “tone and time with softness and slowness”, in a “texture of sharing and not exhibition”, by the performers.

To this end, André Uerba invites performers — of all backgrounds, identities and experiences — who feel comfortable with nudity and touch, to speak on stage, sharing their own stories. The genitals of each performer will also be photographed. The photos will be used as props in the piece.

Candidates must also be available for the rehearsals and performance period, and speak fluent Portuguese (and, preferably, English as well).
Both rehearsals and presentations are paid.

Æffective Choreography will be presented at Serralves, one of DDD's programming partners, on May 3rd and 4th.
