- 3 days ago
- 1 min read

A 3-Day Retreat in Central Portugal for Professional Dancers. This retreat is an invitation for professional dancers to dedicate three days to the body that sustains their practice. Within the rhythm of training, rehearsals, performances, and ongoing artistic work, there is rarely space to pause, recover, and listen. These three days are designed to offer that space. Through somatic practices, movement research, improvisation, and time in nature, we return to movement that supports the body’s anatomy, deepens awareness, and restores physical and mental resources.
Where: Vale da Grila Dance Village, Penela, Central Portugal
When: 4-6 September 2026
Deadline for applications: 15. 8. 2026
The retreat welcomes a limited number of participants to maintain an intimate atmosphere and a high-quality shared experience.
Facilitated by Or Marin, a choreographer, educator, and Artistic Director of this new dance center in Portugal. She has been creating contemporary dance since 2005 and spent the past decade directing RE-SEARCH a school for dancer-creators. Alongside her choreographic work, she mentors dancers and choreographers as an artistic advisor and outside eye for new creations.
