Ohi Pezoume Performing Arts Company
Ohi Pezoume Performing Arts Non for Profit Company was founded in 2004 and has as a main aim the design and implementation of community, educational and artistic projects. With public space being our main field of action, we combine techniques of dialogue, participatory research and collaborative activities in delivering educational tools and programs, artistic practices and games to (and with) groups and communities.
These processes – named “UrbanDig Projects” -are appropriate for where bridges of communication and synergy are needed between very different people and actors, where all the stories and views of a community on a subject are sought and where (collective) activation is desired. When implemented in neighborhoods, our processes usually create an open pool of diverse data, producing outputs, strategies and tools in the areas of tourism, culture, education, urban co-creation and other cross-sectoral outputs.
The members of the group come from various places of art, education and science, while during our bigger scale community projects, a broader volunteer community is created towards collective research, artistic interventions and community actions.
Our company continuously produces engaging events in the city, each time adapted in the characteristics of each specific working area: from participatory neighborhood processes to site-specific performances and from public artistic workshops to playful decision-making mechanisms and alternative tours (live and digital).
