Circuit unveils proposals for the Sep-Dec 2025 season
In the final months of the year, there are more than 20 activities on the agenda of Circuito - Braga Media Arts Educational Service.
With the most diverse audiences in mind - from the youngest to the oldest, including schools and the general community - the new season brings workshops, music shows, film screenings, theatre, guided tours, training, masterclasses and workshops in music, writing, computer science, handicrafts and Artificial Intelligence.
As part of the Noite Branca programme, the ODE - Electronic Devices Orchestra opens the new season (in September) and joins the group Outra voz in a show that celebrates experimental music. Also in September, the new schedule includes guided tours to GENESIS, a work by Mario de Vega, a cinema session for kids with films chosen by a jury of children aged between 8 and 12, and a musical masterclass with Budda Guedes on how to record a demo.
In October, the WE! Experimentation Workshops explore the universe of sound with the Mosaic of Sounds session. From the sonic to the visual, the BMA Lab cycle invites Marcelo Ferreira (Nu Boyana) for a masterclass on the potential of special effects, while Teacher Training addresses the critical vision of students, randomness and computing through the vision of artist and designer André Rangel. At the end of the month, CoderDojo returns with new programming and computer science challenges for children and young people aged 7 to 17; and there are guided tours looking at the work of Benedikt Terwiel and Laura San Segundo.
In November, art and science intertwine in Paper that Blooms, the latest workshop in the Art is a Phenomenon series, where youngsters can learn how to create paper with seeds. A new session of the WE! Experimentation Workshops and music resounds again, this time to create a big band with various instruments. This month also sees the last concert of this edition of ODE, this time accompanied by the CORDÃO choir. Joana Patrão once again joins the educational service for the final round of guided tours to the exhibitions by Benedikt Terwiel and Laura San Segundo. Theatre and technology intersect in two different moments: the show SCREENAGERS Vol.2 and the masterclass BMA lab: Expanded Performance - Intermedia Experiences in Contemporary Theatre, with Barbara Matijević. The month ends with a Teacher Training exploring cinema as a tool for observation and learning.
The end of the year brings the usual Winter Club, this year led by Rui Maia and Mariana Vilanova, which will include a presentation at OCUPA #10 - a perspective on electronic music and digital art in Braga. Before the Christmas holidays, it will also be possible to watch the theatre show Soprar para Ver and join the Artificial Intelligence Manual Workshop, led by Filipe Lopes for children aged 10 and over.
As part of the ongoing programme of Circuito, the writing workshop Re[EDU]: Opera challenges people from the community (over 16) to explore ideas, memories and experiences around cultural accessibility, all to give rise to a short community opera.
