“9 Degraus além de um corpo” (“9 Steps Beyond a Body”) is performed by Estúdio 13 dance students together with users and staff of the Cerebral Palsy Association of São Miguel. It represents a journey through human growth in nine symbolic stages. The Nine Steps are an invitation to see dance as a language of development, where each movement transcends form and each scene becomes memory, choice, and awareness, revealing who we are as we take shape, always in uncertainty about who we will become.
