In Choreographies of Presence – Practices of Attention and Inner Landscapes in Motion, choreographer Francisco Camacho shares tools from his choreographic practice, guiding participants through improvisation, compositional tasks, and perceptual training to explore movement as a choreography of presence that reveals inner landscapes and expands expressive range.
Where: Tictac Art Centre, Brussels, Belgium
When: June 8 – 12 | 10:00 – 13:00 & 14:30 – 17:30
This workshop shares tools and themes that run through my work as a choreographer and performer, inviting participants to explore movement as a choreography of presence — a way of training attention, sensing inner landscapes, and expanding expressive range. Each session begins with physical warm-up, followed by practices that deepen perceptual clarity and widen movement possibilities.
Through guided improvisation, compositional tasks and creative research, participants will investigate dynamics, physical states and responses to diverse stimuli such as words, images and sound, cultivating attentive bodies in motion. Repetition and duration will be used as tools to deepen awareness and to observe how movement transforms over time, while reflecting on how that experience communicates to others.
We will develop personal and collective choreographic languages, exploring bodies in situation and theatrical pretexts that enhance communicability while embracing abstraction. The work unfolds individually and collaboratively, in an open environment where each contribution matters and where inner landscapes become visible through movement.
Francisco Camacho is a Portuguese choreographer, performer, and teacher who emerged as a key figure in the contemporary dance movement that developed in Portugal in the late 1980s.

Alongside his performing career, he regularly teaches in Portugal and abroad, sharing his choreographic research and performance practice with dancers worldwide.
