Visões Úteis

Education Service

In Visões Úteis we have a strong feeling of responsibility, not only as artists but also as a project supported by the state. As artists, we impose on the daily critical gesture of creation not only an aesthetical responsibility but also a political one. As a company supported by the state, every day we remember the effort that tax payers are doing and the trust they put on us in order to achieve public interest.

This is why, since 2009, the aesthetical project of Visões Úteis articulates itself with an Education Service, trying to deepen the bonds with the community in which we live and work. Here the processes of contemporary art are used as tools for the autonomy of all the citizens and specially for those who live in peripheral contexts (of geography, gender, generation, culture or race).

In our Education Service you can find

• Theatre courses for youngsters and adults looking for a first experience
• Specific Seminars for performing arts professionals and students
• Voice Workshops for the general public
• Easter and summer schools for children

All these with affordable prices and the offer of scholarships.

• Activities with endangered communities (immigrants, prisioners, peripheral neighbourhoods)
• Activities with older citizens
• Visits to schools with the project “Books can make your body move”
• Special activities with the community of our neighbourhood (Fontinha)

These with no costs at all.

We want to be with you. If you need us just give us a call.
We go wherever we're needed.
