The “Self-Mistake” project promotes artistic creation, in a context of experimentation and risk, in the areas of dance and contemporary performance. It supports the development of artistic processes, as well as the sharing of creations in alternative contexts. By embracing risk and innovation, the “Self-Mistake” project encourages the experience of error in artistic creation as a fundamental step towards transformation and transcendence.
