We make music
with our feet

I envision Pé na Tábua as a great celebration of dance and music as a form of language that breaks the barriers of common sense and sameness. The company has always made me face a work that communicates with the present, without failing to reference the historical trajectories and exalting our critical sense.

In addition to exploring from dramaturgical research to cultural production in a way that is still incipient in Brazilian tap dancing, there is also a way in which the Company intertwines its actions in collectives of other artistic languages, producing a maturation of artistic research that is two-way (what does tap dancing teach? what does tap dancing learn?), and that has been weaving support networks in the artistic scene of its city.

Cia. Pé na Tábua plays an extremely necessary role. In addition to taking this modality to a diverse audience, it mixes several languages ​​in its choreographies, such as instrumental music, body percussion, Libras, etc., inviting the audience to participate and to be inside of the magic of performance, bringing the active presence of people, in a playful and fun way.

Occupying a metropolis whose dancing habit was restricted to traditional schools, restless artists met for a research dance. Coming from the body to dialogue with the city's body. Extending to the city. A work that equalizes quality/access/diversity and sophistication in a single rhythm. Through the desire of stop the cultural exodus, they find their own local success.

Cia Pé na Tábua, an important dance company for the dance scene in Brazil, is inspired by tap dance, and in a contemporary way, dialogues with a wide range of world vector issues, providing us with a good enjoyment of their work, always! They move us, and they lead us to a state of alert and of thinking.
