Fat Dance I Dança Gorda Documentary Screening
Sunday 28 September, 2pm Brazil time (Brasilia Standard Time), 6pm UK time (British Summer Time)
Join us online, via Zoom, with established choreographers and performers Gillie Kleiman (UK) and Jussara Belchior Santos (BR), alongside documentary filmmaker Magdalena Hutter (DE), for the unveiling of the work-in-progress screening of the short documentary film about the project Fat Dance I Dança Gorda.
Gillie, Jussara and Magdalena spent two weeks in São Paulo Brazil, and two weeks in Nottingham UK, collaborating with local and national fat dancers. Each residency included research led by Jussara and by Gillie and moments to share the research with the public.
The project has worked through themes related to fat embodiment and choreography, from social matters such as architectural exclusion and solidarity, professional concerns such as training and artistic freedoms, and personal matters of friendship and community, as well as diving into the formal and relational detail of what comes of having only fat artists in collaboration.
The event will be in English and translated in real time in Portuguese.

Assista com a gente, online via Zoom, o trabalho das coreógrafas e performers Jussara Belchior (BR) e Gillie Kleiman (UK) em parceria com a videomaker Magdalena Hutter (DE), o curta documentário em produção (work-in-progress) sobre o projeto Fat Dance | Dança Gorda.
Gillie, Jussara e Magdalena passaram duas semanas em São Paulo – Brasil, e duas semanas em Nottingham – Reino Unido, colaborando com artistas gordes da dança de cada local. A residência incluiu pesquisas lideradas por Jussara e Gillie, bem como momentos de partilha com o público.
O projeto abordou temas relacionados ao corpo gordo na dança, exclusão social e arquitetônica do corpo gordo, preocupações com treinamento e liberdades artísticas, solidariedade, questões pessoais de amizade e comunidade, além de mergulhar nos detalhes formais e relacionais advindos da colaboração exclusiva entre artistas gordes.
O evento será bilíngue, com tradução simultânea entre português e inglês.
