JOÃO FIADEIRO
Paris, 1965.
Lives and works in Lisbon.
His early dance training occurred between 1983 and 1988, which was in the techniques of classical dance and modern dance, which he developed at the Ballet Gulbenkian (Lisbon) and at the Peridance Center (New York). In 1988, through a scholarship from the Jacob's Pillow Festival, in Massachussets, USA, he made contact with the American postmodern movement, which radically changed his references and practices. He then focused on the improvisation and composition techniques born with that movement, which he examined thoroughly in numerous workshops both in Berlin and Lisbon. Between 1986 and 1989, Fiadeiro worked as a dancer with the Companhia de Dança de Lisboa (Lisbon Dance Company) and the Ballet Gulbenkian, where he started his choreographic work.
In 1990, he created the RE.AL Company, an organisation that has been working in the area of the creation and circulation of contemporary dance performances, organisation of laboratorial-like events and the development of initiatives related to artistic research.
In 1995, he began the systematisation of the Real Time Composition method, which supports, sustains and determines his entire activity as an artist, teacher and researcher. In the year 2000, in the midst of RE.AL, he promoted the constitution of a group of performers, theorists and artistic collaborators who have decisively contributed to the method's outline and range, in addition to applying the method in the making of their own projects. By their influence and contribution, the following people are readily acknowledged: the performers -- creators Cláudia Dias, Márçia Lança, Helga Guszner and Tiago Guedes, the plastic artists Gustavo Sumpta and Walter Lauterer, the composer Arnold Haberl, the researcher Paula Caspão, the dramatist Joris Lacoste, the journalist Rui Catalão and the collaborators David- Alexandre Guéniot and Marie Mignot. This work has been developed at the Atelier RE.AL, head-office of the Company, or, at the invitation of international entities, through research ateliers, workshops dedicated to the application of the method and creation projects. Of these, Fiadeiro highlights "Plano para identificar o centro" (1989), "Retrato da Memória enquanto peso Morto" (1990), "Branco Sujo" (1993), "Self(ish)-Portrait" (1995), "O desejo ardente deve ser acompanhado por uma vontade firme" (1995), "I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now" (1997), "O que eu sou não fui sozinho" (2000), "Existência" (2002) and "I Am Here"(2003), which were performed all over Europe, the United States of America, Canada and Brazil. He also acknowledges the plays "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett, in the year 2000, "4:48 Psychosis" by Sarah Kane, in 2001 and "Night Songs" by Jon Fosse in 2004. João Fiadeiro staged these plays at the invitation of the theatre company Artistas Unidos.
Throughout the course of his work, he has established a close collaboration with various artists and contemporary thinkers, namely Jorge Silva Melo, Marta Wengorovius, Pedro Costa, Vítor Rua, Nuno Rebelo, Miguel Azguime, André Lepecki and Mark Tompkins, who have had great influence on his work.
