Artistic Practice >
One of the characteristics of my artistic practice has been the constant flow of ideas, places and people.
More than an artist, I consider myself as a producer of conditions. Creating contexts to test new textures, methodologies and practices, besides enabling my reality of an autonomous dance professional, navigating among differences, contrasts and contradictions.
I understand dance as knowledge production and, I like to think of creations as opportunities to promote challenges and intriguing collaborations, as well as a mechanism to reflect and discuss about my surrounding.
I like to think in transformation, multiplication and dissemination of ideas, contents and practices.
