Regra de dois
Neste duo a dança se constrói a partir de regras e restrições. As regras são pré-fixadas, mas a coreografia não é pré-determinada. Cada fragmento traz uma dinâmica própria de conexões baseada nas possibilidades de decisões no instante da ação. Observar, construir, escolher - ações simultâneas e persistentes que configuram os sentidos neste duo.
Alguns princípios organizativos do movimento são responsáveis por acionar a dramaturgia que estrutura o duo Regra de dois, dentre eles:
Mover-se precisamente no tempo em que um objeto leva para cair no chão; Sacolejar contínuo; O outro como um plano de apoio; Vestir-se sem usar as mãos; Mover-se num plano com quatro apoios, três, dois, um; Espirais como um padrão fixo de movimentação.

Regra de Dois

In this duet, the dancers improvise using a set of rules and restrictions: the rules are fixed a priori but the choreography is not determined. Each fragment brings its own dynamic of possibilities and connections made by chance. Dance principles like weight, speed, dynamic, fluidity, space and time are the parameters of exploration. Nevertheless, the dancers are interested in the experience of constructing action in the moment instead of setting a choreographic sequence.
They named the rules as Potentials of Movement, which are used to make the dramaturgy of the piece. Some of the rules: to move in a plane using 4, 3, 2 or 1 base; to shake continuously; to hug in a breathing cycle; to use the other body as support; to dress without using the hands; to move while an object falls on the floor; to spiral continuously.

In the beginning of this project, the proposal was to share ideas. In 2005, the two choreographers, Thembi Rosa in Belo Horizonte and Renata Ferreira in New York, began to organize the project by emails. They received a grant from the Prêmio Funarte/Petrobrás de Fomento a Dança and in 2006 they started the rehearsals. The piece was presented in Belo Horizonte, Diamantina and Sao Paulo/Brazil.
