“Every new beginning
leads you to a mystery.
Every beginning carries
that potential of the unknown.
It relates to how we move,
how we hear, how we listen,
how we spend time with something,
how we see what is around us.”
Meg Stuart
PACAP 8 / Mystery School of Choreography
Concept and Artistic Direction: Meg Stuart
Artistic Collaboration: Ana Rocha
Forum Dança invites choreographer Meg Stuart as a curator for the 8th edition of PACAP to take place in Lisbon, 2025, who proposes her concept and project Mystery School of Choreography. For this edition, Meg Stuart has invited Ana Rocha as artistic collaborator.
Mystery School of Choreography (MyS) is an unconventional experimental studies programme for performing artists. It’s a place where fascination for the metaphysical will be intertwined with composition, choreography, and art making.
During these six months, from February to July 2025, we will work in the studio at Forum Dança, in the theatre space at Teatro do Bairro Alto, in the galleries at Culturgest, surrounded by nature and far from the Portuguese capital at O Espaço do Tempo, Montemor-o-Novo, and in São Miguel Island, Azores, in Walk&Talk Biennial. From the indoor space to the street, we will go through these residencies together for reflection and practice.

======================================
MEG STUART
Choreographer, director, and dancer who lives and works in Berlin and Brussels. With her company, Damaged Goods, founded in 1994, she has created over thirty productions, ranging from solos and duets to group pieces, video works, site-specific creations and improvisation projects.
Stuart’s work moves freely between the genres of dance, theater and visual arts, driven by an ongoing dialogue with artists from different disciplines.
Through fictions and shifting narrative layers, she explores dance as a source of healing and a way to transform the social fabric.
Improvisation is an important part of Stuart’s practice, as a strategy to move from physical and emotional states or the memory of them.
Meg Stuart has received many awards for her work, notably the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Biennale di Venezia in 2018, and she was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2023.
ANA ROCHA
Curator, choreographer, performer, playwright, and a teacher. She has been a producer of visual arts, music and performing arts (theatre/contemporary dance), and also works as a production manager for cultural projects.
She mediates in the field of Culture and the Arts, creating a research language of artistic and socio-political action engaged in the potential development of the creative process and its context.
Ana operates in fields of multiplicity and cultural diversity, co-relating points of reflection and transition, by accompanying and consulting institutions, non-profit organizations, artistic collectives, and national and international creators.
