Danças na Cidade/Livros Cotovia, 1998, Lisboa, 222 pages
ISBN: 972-8423-32-2, Price: €7,50  

Between 1993 and 1998, Theaterschrift was one of the main international publications on the performing arts. Published in four languages (Dutch, French, English, and German), it gave voice to a number of artists in a series of high quality contributions and interviews. In 1998, Danças na Cidade and Edições Cotovia published the last editions, Theaterschrift Extra, this time also in Portuguese. It features several texts about dance, music, theatre and performance that give an 'inside' view on the Portuguese performing arts scene of the time.

Dance critic and anthropologist André Lepecki was invited to coordinate a written 'confrontation' between Portuguese artists and intellectuals and some of the statements published in the 12 previous editions of Theaterschrift. The result is a written dialogue between the international and Portuguese arts worlds.

MOVIMENTOS
 
 

Ed. Maria de Assis (texts) e Albino Moura (fotos)
Danças na Cidade, 1995, Lisboa
156 pages
Price: €2,5

Movimentos was published in 1995 out of the need to approach the new generation of choreographers and dancers that had radically changed the Portuguese dance scene in the beginning of the 90s.

Movimentos is organised in two parts. The first part presents a series of interviews of dance critic Maria de Assis with Portuguese choreographers: "Sixteen individual portraits that, set side by side, constitute an important tool for the study and comprehension of the so called New Portuguese Dance movement." The second part of the book features 48 photographs of Portuguese contemporary dance by 9 photographers.
