I am an artist working with immersive performance, movement, and interdisciplinary practice. My work challenges conventional storytelling through personal narratives, technology, design, and collaboration. I explore identity and perception alongside feminist, queer, and political discourse, creating immersive experiences that question traditional performance structures.
My practice spans over 35 years. I trained in Performing Arts at Martins Pena in Brazil and later completed a Master’s degree in Documentary Film at UAL in London. I have collaborated with leading Brazilian and UK physical theatre and dance companies, including Punchdrunk, Gecko, and Jasmin Vardimon Company. As a rehearsal director with Jasmin Vardimon Company and Punchdrunk, and as a co performer and workshop leader with Punchdrunk since 2005, I have contributed to the creation and refinement of immersive performances.
My work has been supported by Arts Council England and presented internationally. Projects include The Shop for Mortals and All Fools commissioned by Stanley Arts and presented in 2025, Delilah and Other Disasters commissioned by Stanley Arts Croydon in 2024, Uncharted Waters Are Navigable by Little Paper Boats commissioned by Jasmin Vardimon Company in 2024, and We Might Briefly Resonate which received Best Short Dance Film at the Mokkho International Film Festival in 2023. Earlier works include If I Write a Letter with My Body, Tutu Trouble and OX funded by Arts Council England, The Whole Shabang!, Disruptive Narratives, The Return of the Unknown, and Glitch; Copycat 2009; NoContact, commissioned by The Place, 2007.
My practice focuses on dismantling fixed performance formats and creating immersive encounters that blur the line between audience and performer.

With over 30 years of extensive experience in dance, theatre, and immersive experiences, I have dedicated my career to the realms of physical theatre and immersive storytelling. Through hands-on collaboration, my commitment lies in fostering a dynamic and collaborative learning environment.
The workshop formats are:
. 3 hours long;
. One weekend1
. One week for residency, culminating in a sharing session at the end.
The Participants will be exposed to various devising techniques based on physical theatre, dance, and traditional theatre, combined to explore immersive experiences. The aim is to enhance performers' sensitivity to space, character, and narrative. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
