After careful study of the applications presented, the Jury unanimously decided to propose that the<br />

Vasco Vilalva Award for 2008, amounting to 1 50,000, should be awarded to the project<br />

“Monumentos Vivos/Festival Terras sem Sombra de Música Sacra do Baixo Alentejo”, coordinated by<br />

José António Falcão, from the Historical and <strong>Art</strong>istic Heritage Department of the Diocese of Beja.<br />

The award was made in recognition of the overall quality of a continued and coherent project for the<br />

survey, restoration and enhancement of the religious cultural heritage of the Baixo Alentejo, showing<br />

clearly defined criteria and a methodology that were considered by all of the Jury’s members to be<br />

exemplary, both in themselves and in their potential for use in other regions of Portugal.<br />

Theatre [3130 721]<br />

The Theatre Sector maintained<br />

its support for stage directors<br />

at the beginning of their professional<br />

careers, research and training<br />

in the theatre, and support<br />

to consolidate theatre infrastructures.<br />

These guidelines again enabled<br />

the distributive function<br />

to be maximised.<br />

New Stage Directors [359 260]<br />

This programme continues to demonstrate its effectiveness in furthering the careers of young<br />

Portuguese stage directors. This year, grants were awarded to 15 projects reflecting not only<br />

the experimentalism that generally marks the beginning of a stage director’s career, but also<br />

the recourse to other artistic references that are to be found in the present-day world of theatre.<br />

The highlights were the following projects: Only You – Um Espectáculo para Si. Um <strong>Art</strong>ista ao seu<br />

Dispor, by Dinis Machado, A Direcção do Sangue, by John Romão, Leôncio e Lena, by Ricardo<br />

Aibéo, Mona Lisa Show, by Pedro Gil, Rádio Pirata, by Maria Gil, and Tríptico, by Martim Pedroso.<br />

Theatre research [318 300]<br />

The support given under the scope of this programme covered an interesting variety<br />

of artistic proposals and fully corresponded to its aims, with funding being provided<br />

to five projects from various regions around the country: “Curtas”, consisting of experimental<br />

short plays, promoted by the Associação Primeiros Sintomas and performed in Almada;<br />

the treatment of the photo-documentary collection of the Teatro Experimental de Cascais,<br />

with a view to the publication of a monograph about this theatre’s 42 years of existence;<br />

and three training schemes run respectively by baal 17, from Serpa, este, from Fundão,<br />

and the Varazim Teatro, from Póvoa de Varzim.
