Workshop
Com a coordenação do nosso artista associado Rogério Nuno Costa
do Daniel Pinheiro e da Fátima São Simão

Quinta, 20 Outubro
15h - 18h
PINC UPTEC




A creation experience to identify the “dos” and “don’ts” of copyright rules in the performing arts (and how to turn “donts” in “dos”).
This workshop is part of a co-creation processe towards a performance which aims to be an education tool for artists who are constantly dealing, simply ignoring or cleverly overcoming issues of copyright. The idea is to bring in your own experiences (good or bad), discuss them and produce a short performance to be presented Saturday (23rd). We will also film it and distribute it online under CC license.
Who may be interested in joining?
performing artists and creators
Participants should bring:
comfortable clothing and content (either their own or other’s) they cannot use or publish openly.

Rogério Nuno Costa is a Portuguese performance artist based in Helsinki (Finland). His work deals with the major concept of documentation when applied to ephemeral performative actions. His performances, videos, conferences, show cases, installations and texts explore the fields of theatre, movement, visual arts, literature, philosophy and anthropology, interconnecting public and private contexts, autobiographical discourses and informational/communicational strategies: social networking, advertising, conceptual propaganda, guerrilla art, piracy. Apart from his own performance work, he has been several times invited to write and direct theatre and dance performances for other artists and companies, also working as a dramaturgist and artistic consultant. He’s also a researcher, a curator, a writer and a “conceptual” chef. Major in Communication and Journalism, has studied Contemporary Art History and Contemporary Culture & New Technologies. Currently, he is teaching a theatre direction laboratory to the Major in Theatre at Universidade do Minho (Guimarães, Portugal), and is also doing research within the frame of Visual Culture and Contemporary Art (ViCCA) MA program at Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design and Architecture (Helsinki, Finland), developing a series of meta-pedagogical activities concerning the Year One of his project “University/Yliopisto“.
