Synopsis

The present publication - the result of the investigative work of Portingaloise – Associação Cultural e Artística in partnership with Kale Dance Company and under the seal of the Centre for Classical and Humanistic Studies of the University of Coimbra - aims to contribute to the expansion of scientific production in the area of choreology in Portugal. Accompanying the growing development of academic studies in the area of dance, performance or the performing arts, studies in historical choreology inform about the practice of dance in specific contexts, favouring contact with period sources and observing its relationship with the other arts, as well as with the philosophical, social and political context in which it is inserted.
This volume, integrated in the Mundos e Fundos series, as well as in the homonymous research project, intends to accompany the commitment of the University of Coimbra in promoting research in the area of Performing Arts, in a logic that is both specialized and interdisciplinary, which will surely constitute an important contribution to the meeting of academic and artistic production in the country.
