A co-fundadora e diretora-geral do Cascais Ópera – Concurso Internacional de Canto, Alexandra Maurício, participa no 4.º Fórum de Mulheres OLA – “Construindo liderazgos inclusivos y colectivos”, que decorre de 24 a 26 de setembro de 2026, em Bogotá, Colômbia.

Promovido pela Ópera Latinoamérica (OLA), em parceria com o Centro Nacional de las Artes Delia Zapata Olivella e o Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo, o encontro reúne profissionais de diferentes áreas das artes performativas para refletir sobre liderança, representatividade, participação das mulheres na criação artística, mercado de trabalho e conciliação entre vida profissional e familiar.

Alexandra Maurício participa no dia 25 de setembro, no Painel 1 – “¿Qué significa el liderazgo femenino?”, ao lado de Benita Ferrero-Waldner, comissária europeia da Áustria, Ana María Boada, Secretária da Cultura e Desporto de Bogotá e Jenny Suárez, Subdirectora Geral do Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo num painel moderado por Paulina Ricciardi, diretora executiva da OLA.

A participação da diretora do Cascais Ópera integra-se numa programação que procura alargar a reflexão sobre os modelos tradicionais de liderança, valorizando abordagens mais colaborativas, inclusivas e participativas e reunindo diferentes experiências do setor cultural ibero-americano.

Ao longo dos três dias, o Fórum promove ainda debates sobre as desigualdades no mercado de trabalho, a presença das mulheres enquanto compositoras, dramaturgas e diretoras nas programações culturais, diversidade e representatividade, bem como sobre novos modelos de organização e gestão no setor das artes performativas. Será também apresentada a versão ibero-americana de Abriendo el Telón, uma ferramenta destinada à prevenção, atenção e reparação da violência de género nas artes performativas.

Para além da sua participação no painel, Alexandra Maurício estará presente ao longo de todo o Fórum, acompanhando as diferentes sessões, encontros e momentos de networking, num contexto de partilha de experiências entre instituições e profissionais de toda a rede OLA.

A presença do Cascais Ópera neste encontro reforça a sua participação ativa na OLA – Ópera Latinoamérica, rede da qual é membro desde 2024, e contribui para o aprofundamento das relações entre o projeto português e as instituições culturais e operáticas da América Latina.

OUTROS ARTIGOS

Over the past three decades, primarily in London, Portugal and Amsterdam, Dr Jorge Balça
has developed a strong portfolio of work and a unique combination of skillsets – as a stage
director (of theatre, opera, and hybrid forms), a teacher and workshop leader, a presentation
skills, acting and creativity coach, and practice-based researcher. His work in all these
domains is distinguished by his commitment to and skill in making fantasy and invention
emerge from precise knowledge and training – and by his ability to inspire a similar alchemy
in his collaborators.

Classically trained as an actor and countertenor, he studied theatre directing in London and
Moscow, specialising in Shakespeare, techniques of adaptation, Meyerhold and commedia
dell’arte. Jorge also holds a PhD exploring the dramatic training of opera performers.
With a love for site-specific projects and collaborative forms, and an equal flair for comedy
and drama, his work is dramaturgically inventive, visually striking, and physically engaged.
He was the artistic director of Bloomsbury Opera and associate director of The Opera
Makers, both in London. In Portugal, he has recently directed L’Heure Espagnole and The
Turn of the Screw at Centro Cultural de Belém, and Don Giovanni and La Voix Humaine at
Festival de Ópera de Óbidos.

Jorge is committed to his work as a teacher, having taught at the Dutch National Opera
Academy, Morley College London, Universidade de Évora and other institutions. He
maintains an international coaching private practice and is the acting coach at the Neil
Semer Vocal Institute in Italy.
