BoCA Summer School

The GDA Foundation has supported the BoCA Summer School since its inaugural edition 2017. This initiative is integrated into the BoCA Biennial of Contemporary Arts and offers an excellent training program for performing artists and creators, whether Portuguese or foreign, residing in Portugal.

In each edition, the BoCA Summer School establishes itself as a hub for training, artistic reflection, and experimentation. Its goal is to foster creative improvement and recycling through workshops led by national and international artists who have left a significant mark on the contemporary scene.

Support to International Training

This program supports performing artists’ participation in international training and capacity-building activities. Its purpose is to enable the acquisition and refinement of knowledge and the advancement of technical and artistic skills within their specific professional domains
