How are artistic experiences of music and dance related to transformative experiences? I explored exactly how one particular group of people subscribing to the "spiritual but not religious" label construct

dancing as a spiritually transformative activity.

​

I co-created together with an international community of artists during a summer program  in July/August 2024, led by Eugenia Fernanda. Here's what it was about: "As an immersive landscape-programme, the LANDscape retreat-course unfolds as a journey of artistic-political, collective and embodied research into the ethical and communal tools of the Modus Operandi AND and the constitution of a body of implication in repairing the Irreparable." 

Subtitled "'myths, firesouls and song" this was an art residency where I explored with others somatic and kinesthetic approaches t connecting with other non-human neighbors.  You can see me featured on the video for the art residency here. 

A collaboration with dancer Eva Trapeznicova. An exploration in the anthropology of the body and corporal mediation in spirituality. 

I danced together with an international community of Contact Improvisation dancers in a 10-day intensive directed by Anjelica Doniy in February 2024, organized by Towards Contact in the island of Phan gan, Thailand. 

I danced in two 9-day intensive exploration of movement, dance, and performance as they relate to wellness and transformation in July 2023 and September 2024.

Co-curated along Christian Alonso an anthropological exhibit called Multispecies Imaginaries, as part of my participation in the ON MEDIATION course 2020-2021.Co-authored with Adrianna Szojda and Francisco Rocha an illustrated manual for entangled and concerned living with human and non-human others.

Ser Vivo is a commune in portugal where dance and somatics are conceptualized as tools for well-being and personal development. I spend long-term residencies there, where I take classes in Contemporary Dance, Contact Improvisation, African Dance, and other dances.
