The Workshop is composed of a theoretical component about stage photography and a practical component that will take place throughout the whole festival. The practical part consists of doing stage photography of the plays that will be part of the festival and doing reportage photography of the environment surrounding the whole festival.

Work groups will be created for the coverage of the festival, coordinated in the field by the instructor Tânia Araújo and in the classrooms by the instructor Luís Rocha.

Participation in this workshop implies relinquishing a collection of images in digital format to the organisation of the festival, with the purpose of promoting the festival. The workshop and festival organisers are committed to respecting the copyright of the images.
