Redemoinho movement

Born out of a meeting at Galpão Cine Horto in 2004, Redemoinho, the Brazilian Movement of Creation Spaces, Exchange and Theatrical Research (Movimento Brasileiro de Espaços de Criação, Compartilhamento e Pesquisa Teatral) works toward creating a national network of theatre spaces. They have also consolidated themselves as a national political movement and they actively lobby for a Federal Law of Theatre Subsidy. Approximately 70 theatre groups and cultural entities from 11 States are part of Redemoinho. Every year a national council is elected. In 2009 counselors were: Fernando Yamamoto of Grupo Clowns de Shakespeare (Natal), Marcelo Bones do Grupo Teatro Andante (Belo Horizonte) who is also the new coordinator of Performing Arts of FUNARTE, Tânia Farias of Tribo de Atuadores Ói Nóis Aqui Traveiz (Porto Alegre) and José Fernando Azevedo do Teatro de Narradores (São Paulo).
