Ponto de Cultura Espaço Panorama has been connecting and strengthening the ongoing actions of Associação Cultural Panorama (ACPAN) in the city of Rio de Janeiro and surrounding areas for two years. Espaço Panorama is based on performing arts production, development and creation, increasing each year the reach of this art language in the educational and aesthetic fields, in several places around the state.

In 2012, Espaço Panorama produced, among other things, a vacation camp in partnership with Ponto de Cultura Ciranda de Tarituba, in Paraty, and video screenings and dance workshops in several Olympic Villages in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Another important action is being developed with patients of UFRJ’s Psychiatric Hospital (IPUB), which includes dance workshops with invited artists.

Videoteca Panorama is part of the activities of Ponto de Cultura and has a collection of over 2.000 videos, sent to Associação Cultural Panorama by artists/authors from all over the world. The collection is available for public research and is already being screened in debates, seminars, conferences and thematic showcases.

Videoteca Panorama also reproduced part of its archive for three dance graduation courses in Rio. In 2012, we also inaugurate, in Brazil, the Library of Performing Rights, an archive specialized in human rights and performance, in partnership with Live Art Development Agency/ LADA.
