STUDIO WORK in SP and LA
LORI - SHE WAS NOT FOND (LA)
This is a dance as the character for the film LORI I was writing. I had to dance the character to get under her skin and give her what she needed - what she craved.
This is in my home in LA - K Town.
Dan Grajew made this phenomenal Sound Track.
PARAPHERNALIA (SP)
In 2021 I turned off my internet and was silent for the whole month of October. And listened to Miles Davis. This is my studio/atelier in SP. Brazil.
DAIMON AND EGGS (SP)
Women lay eggs and bleed. Every month. To me - there was no other way to face death - every month. To be alive in every single molecule in the body. Womanhood.
This is also a tribute to Mr Ailey - where everything started to me - when I received my scholarship at Alvin Ailey in NY and started my professional career.
Thank you Mr Ailey.
DIGITAL CAGE (SP)
Loosely based on Louis Malle "Lift to the Gallows" this is a short character study for nowadays society. The female character gets stuck in the elevator but the door is open - she is the one that cannot go out.
Are we really free?
Are we really in prison?
Or we in fact create our own prison?
As Agostine said
Please, give me continence and chastity but not yet.
SPIDER WOMAN - LA
Choreographic studies for characters for my feature film.
It's the story of my Italian grandmother, my mother and I - and this corrosive relationship that took me to be a professional ballerina. The film is called
O Fio Vermelho, Māe.
The Red Thread, Mom.
147 (LA)
Working on Shakespeare Sonnet 147.
it has always been deep and painful - uterus work when I work on characters. How words really come to me the fear I always had of words. When I came across Miles Davis's rehearsal on this piece I could relate to his struggle and his musicians. Here it is.
