The Dance of My History was created in the framework of the lecture cycle My Dance History, created and organised by Forum Dança and O Rumo do Fumo. This lecture cycle invites people in the field of dance to share their artistic path crossed by the History of Dance, or the History of the Performing Arts, and how it relates to them.
When idealizing my dance story, I wanted to build it on two vertices: temporality, not necessarily linear in a personal or artistic path, but guided by affective memories; and the presentation of materials, movements and events that mostly escape the usual focus of visibility of the performing arts circuit.
The people who inhabit my body through my warm-ups, an episode that happened in an audition for Pina Bausch or a small performance performed at the beginning of my artistic life, are some of the elements that build the body of this story and this dance.
