Mission

logotipo do centro de estudos de artes performativasThe Study Centre for Performing Arts(CEAP) is one of the operational units of the Faculdade de Motricidade Humana. Research developed in CEAP is carried out in the following areas:
Documentation, interpretation and transmission – The ephemerality of performing phenomena and its corresponding intangibility entail extra tasks, oriented to the domain of recording processes, inventory and processing, and transmission.
Iconography of the body and human performance – This line of research develops the analysis and interpretation of body representation processes and its performances, by taking the diachronic and synchronic axes into account.
Lusophony and identities – From the notion of expressive culture, we intend to analyze the intercultural, multiculturalism, and cultural exchange phenomena, while taking into account the porosity and impermeability of social groups in the Lusophone space.
Mobility and leisure – Taking the use of bikes as starting point, this research line questions the (in)equality in lifestyles, body (exercise and health), man – nature relationship, energy and sustainable economy.
Performance and competition rituals – Focused on high performance (whether related to art or to sports competition), this research line questions body (un)balances promoted by volume and intensity inherent to practice rituals in their relationship with the great ritual of economic exchanges and production of emotions of artistic shows.

Research Programs
The research program developed in CEAP comprises ground research in cultural studies, and the study of performing events. CEAP is, thus, especially oriented to intervene in inventory and classification of intangible assets, there including transmission and dissemination processes of performing practices in the Lusophone space. CEAP also gives support to the artistic creation and frames choreographic creation in the perspective of research inherent to dance renderings.
