EIRA is a private organization based in Lisbon / Portugal who's mission is developing contemporary dance and performance in Portugal and internationally.
EIRA is also a place for contemporary dance in Lisbon. One of the few working spaces for artists still available and open in the city. Since 1996, EIRA has been a working space for many Portuguese and foreign artists, hosting and organising in its own facilities in Lisbon, various artistic residencies, rehearsals, workshops and international research projects. Since 2013, EIRA is running the facilities of Teatro da Voz in Lisbon, one of the oldest theaters in town where EIRA keeps providing an open workspace for many artists from Portugal and beyond.
From 2014 onwards EIRA will also organize biannually the new Lisbon's International Contemporary Dance Festival. The first edition will be held in March 2015 at Centro Cultural de Belém, Teatro Camões and other art venues in Lisbon.
