Solo performance exploring themes of belonging, identity, and protagonism through movement and self-inquiry. Using salt as a sacred material, the artist created a safe space for a shared ritual, combining contemporary dance and Candombe. (Afro-Uruguayan dance and music). The work-in-progress was shared with audiences in London and Brazil. The research was mentored by Orrow Bell and Tom Hastings.

Umas e Outras is a duet performance that addresses gender violence in Brazil. As co-creator and performer, I incorporated elements of circus and contemporary dance, using acrobatics, body balance, and an aerial trapeze number. The work was performed in Porto Alegre and toured Mato Grosso do Sul State, with workshops offered to women victims of gender violence. Beyond the live show, the project culminated in a final exhibition of visual material and texts.
