'Reaction'
For World Dance Day & by invitation from UNESCO's International Dance Council/CID to promote dance works that also involve other visual art mediums, we uploaded a Happening/Jam Session of ours from 1998 of a structured, spontaneous improvisation with artists working in various mediums. This intercultural event took place in the Lagares Del Rei, in historic Tomar.

One of our earliest projects here in Portugal, was
The fringe International Festival of Contemporary Dance
Created, produced & directed by Fausto Matias, the 'fringe Festival Internacional de Dança Contemporânea' lasted for 6 consecutive years being our biggest project ever. The festival was originally held in the historic city of Tomar, and later expanded to include over 50 locations throughout Portugal with more than 100 performances and 200 participating artists for an audience of over 55,000 from 1999 till 2004.
Presenting contemporary and experimental works in predominantly outdoor, site-specific venues, the fringe showcased internationally established artists as well as emerging talents.
