Luís Miguel Félix & Sidney Leoni in residence

Luís and Sidney are working on a new project entitled “War of Fictions” which will premiere at Circular Festival, Portugal in September 2011. It will be presented at MDT in October.

Sidney Leoni (FR), based in Brussels, develops works that draw attention on notions of sensation, affect and active perception and on a participatory interrelation with an audience. In 2010, he created “Undertone” in collaboration with several guest artists, an immersive experience of several kinds of stimuli: tastes, sounds, smells, temperature fluctuations, touches in complete darkness. Sidney performed in the piece “Giant City” (2009) by Mette Ingvartsen, “The Host” (2010) by Andros Zins-Browne and participated in the master program “Mychoreography” by Mårten Spångberg at DOCH (2008–2010).

Luís Miguel Félix (PT) has most recently been developing his role as a performer with specific choreographers whose work and processes he considers unique and pertinent in the contemporary performance context. He is currently performing in “Blue” by Juan Dominguez, “Undertone” by Sidney Leoni, “Low Pieces” by Xavier Le Roy and “Oedipus, my foot” by Jan Ritsema.
