The workshop takes place in Jardim da Cerca da Graça, inviting participants to explore the shifting concepts built around the landscape. Through writing and embodied experimentation, it invites the contemplation of the ephemeral, the banal and the unexpected in a cityscape.

Participants engage in hands-on activities that combine movement, bodily awareness, and textual exploration, attending to subtle shifts in light, sound, and atmosphere. Developed with the collective Sympoietic Society through their practice of mo(u)rning sessions, the workshop searches for collaborative observation and renewed trust to one’s own senses.

Continuing the investigative thread of Isadora Alves’ piece “Mas Onde Está a Espada” (2020–2022), realised in Lisbon’s public gardens, the workshop foregrounds how shifts in natural light shape the interconnections between human and more-than-human rhythms, revealing how shared attention can uncover the poetic and political textures of outdoor spaces.

Meeting point is Mouraria Creative Hub. Participants are asked to arrive on time so the group can move together to the workshop location.

Isadora Alves is an actor and artist working with performance, theatre, film and writing. Her projects often unfold as performances in the landscape, where light becomes a central material of investigation. She is a co-founder of the interdisciplinary art collective Sympoietic Society (SyS), whose research on the disappearance of glaciers explores climate grief, interspecies co-creation, and situated storytelling through embodied exercises and social practice.
