Walks to a place of strength is an artistic proposal for walking with a political-somatic dimension. It works on the body's relationship with the surrounding territory and ecosystem, through questioning what is the center and periphery of a place.It is also a proposal for meeting the public, as a temporary community, which goes through a hybrid performative format: the performance, proposing collective and ephemeral artistic interventions along the route; the workshop, developing together with the audience exercises related to walking as an experimental artistic practice, exercises that promote relationship and awareness of the body, well-being and self-care. And the guided tour, valuing the history and context of the place through a fictional reality.

This walk seeks to share with the public a source of experiences and reorientation of attention, without leaving a footprint. Walking implies the transformation of the place and its meanings and the change in perceptions that arises when crossing a territory. It is a form of transformation of the landscape that, without leaving tangible marks, results in a transformation of the place itself.

Sara Anjo (PT, 1982) works in the ​​dance field as a dancer, experimenting with scores and choreographic compositions. She is interested in meditative and ecstatic practices, and breathing and walking are the main ones. She is also interested in developing her work in relation to the outdoors, landscapes, and natural environments. She permanently questions herself about: what moves us? How do we move? And where are we moving?
