Brazilian choreographer and dancer Ametonyo Silva is spending a week-long residency at the Schwankhalle as part of the OUTNOW! Festival. In this workshop, he shares choreographic practices from his ongoing dance project “a s s o m b r a ç ã o.” In Brazilian Portuguese, assombração refers to a ghostly or haunting apparition, an invisible yet physically palpable presence. For Ametonyo, it is precisely these apparitions that touch us—sometimes without us being able to see them—and resonate in our feet, bellies, mouths, ears, and eyes. This workshop is about setting one’s own body into vibration to rekindle memories and to evoke and spread warmth and joy (“alegria”). In the process, the body becomes a medium for movements, gestures, images, sensations, and words that are constantly connecting and transforming.

Even after the workshop, Ametonyo invites you to visit him during his residency week and to accompany him in his choreographic practice—indoors and outdoors, in public spaces and in the theater, dancing, walking, mapping, writing, cooking, and storytelling.
