We seek to leave the conventional spaces of the classroom and the Italian stage.

We offer several models and training activities, which can be specific or extended, and whose audience may vary depending on the institution or location/city. We recognize ourselves as artist/teacher, a concept developed by Isabel Marques (2014), in which the artist/teacher is one who, in the same proposal, dances and educates: educate by dancing and dance by educating, aware of the two merged actions that he or she performs. The audience is invited to draw multiple and critical relationships between art, education and society, which assures the artist of his role as an educator.

Workshop

One sound for each gesture

The tap workshop for inexperienced people aims to teach the basics of the North American tap technique, respecting the limits and particularities of each participant. Tap dancing exercises motor coordination, memory, creativity, listening and it enables people to find out the sounds that the body is capable of producing, aiming at the well-being and connection between the participants, who can experience this first experience without tap shoes, dancing barefoot or with any comfortable shoes like sneakers.

Workshop

Which foot, now?

The tap workshop aimed at experienced tap dancers, of different training and technical levels, aims to take Cia. Pé na Tábua's research further, understanding the participants as interpreters-creators, on the way to discovering their own style and personality.

Workshop

Time, wandering and senses

In this meeting, elements that trigger the creation and artistic collaboration experienced by Cia. Pé na Tábua, in an attempt to contribute to collective creative processes for the performing arts. From some propositions, wandering will be treated as an idea, time as a process, and meaning as a discovery.

We act in pursuit of spreading tap dance in a democratic and accessible way.

We are not a dance school operating in one place. As artists/teachers, we take itinerant tap dancing workshops to many people and places of social vulnerability.
