Teatro da Voz hosts:
Arts in the studio
For several years, we inhabited Teatro da Voz with the production company EIRA, which in this space continued its program Um Lugar para a Dança, aimed at supporting choreographers and other artists, Portuguese and foreign, providing the rehearsal studio free of charge for the undertaking of their projects.
In 2020, when a new cycle began at Teatro da Voz following EIRA’s leaving, Produções Real Pelágio committed to keep Teatro da Voz available for the hosting, without rental costs, of performing arts projects and artists looking for a rehearsal space in Lisbon to develop their creations.
This initiative, which we called Teatro da Voz hosts... arts in the studio, is also aimed at contributing to bringing together artists/creative processes and the school community/educational processes. The main goal here is to add another dimension to the work developed at Teatro da Voz’s Art Training Centre for connecting arts and education by hosting, whenever possible and appropriate, open rehearsals/meetings with the school community, and by mediating and supporting teachers and classes in the development of projects to which such occasions may give rise.

Opening note
Aiming to provide regular working conditions for artistic practice and cultural fruition in Portugal, the grant program at Teatro da Voz is meant to offer two scholarships for work development and/or artistic creation annually (until 2024) in any performing arts field, while also providing a studio for rehearsals at Teatro da Voz, formerly known as Teatro da Graça, located in the Lisbon centre, in the Graça neighbourhood.
This program aims to support projects, initiatives, activities, or research of a professional nature to be undertaken by individuals (artists, researchers, trainers, or any cultural professionals) and/or collectives who need a rehearsal space for performing arts practice.
Priority will be given to artists and other professionals, working either alone or collectively, with or without associated management structures, who endure economic, social, identity-related or any other form of marginalisation.
Please note: Teatro da Voz does not currently have an elevator or any suitable means for people with reduced mobility to access the studio, which is located on the lower floor.
