Believing in the potential of positive transformations generated from art and cultural works, we have developed activities parallel to our touring shows, looking especially at the formation and widening of opportunities for children and senior citizens.
Searching to promote social inclusion and also the improvement of our artists, we have conducted various workshops, master classes, debates, discussion panels, open rehearsals, mini performances with question and answer sessions, besides lectures and classes jointly with dance companies from abroad as well as local dancers.
Antares donated tickets in all our events for students, teachers and professionals of each of our areas of activity.
