In my creations, I focus on the affective and political dimensions of the creative process based on the body, emotions, intercultural issues, based on my own life story.

​

In my artistic and pedagogical practice, I explore the metaphorical relationship between movement and the way we interact with the world, defending an intertwining between creative/intercultural/interpersonal processes. I have been developing a research based on traces and resignifications of different cultures of movement (essentially, African/Afro-Brazilian dances, and capoeira Angola), seeking to understand how an artist, a woman, white Portuguese, European, subject of the 21th century, relates and reinterprets the movements, values ​​and idiosyncrasies of these traditions. Here it is not the “pure” or the “traditional” that is the goal, but the blurred, the ambiguous, the transformations, and the relationships established with this knowledge.
