Atalhos

Color photo of tap dancers Ana, Rodrigo and Renata dancing standing up. Each has their hands close together, almost clapping. All wear overalls and tap shoes, both in beige color. Above the photo, the title “Atalhos”.

Transposition of the rhythmic impulses of feet and hands to the entire skin

ATALHOS is the result of the plural investigative process of Cia. Pé na Tábua. With provocations made by Charles Raszl and soundtrack created by João Callado, tap dancing is guided through a collective study in polyrhythms, Brazilian rhythms and body percussion. From the ground, changing support in the scene, and the gestural-percussive-visual composition, there is a transposition of the rhythmic impulses of feet and hands to the whole skin.

Color photo of Rodrigo, Ana and Renata. They are facing each other forming an almost triangular position with one arm raised and bent, letting their elbows touch each other as they look at their hands.

Your feet are apart, right foot in front and left foot behind, the right arm is extended pointing with the hand making a line at 45 degrees, the gaze follows the same direction as the right hand and the left arm is flexed with the hand next to the right shoulder.

We act in search of spreading tap dance as a non-elitist art.

Many years ago, this collective chose to remain in the interior and contribute to the decentralization of artistic productions.
