THE STUDY THAT I HOLD IS LIKE THE VOICE VIBRATING INSIDE MY THROAT: humid, hot, trembling and full of air


EN / PT / ESP

This research guides my two-year journey at DAS CHOREOGRAPHY, at the University of the Arts Amsterdam, focusing on the relationship between dance, body, and voice across multiple dimensions: physical, sonic, vocal, sensory, poetic, environmental, and political.


During this process, I practice the voice(s) as a technology for enchantment, fabulation, and collective memory, while simultaneously forging unexpected connections. By exploring the threshold where language, sound, breath, and vibration intersect, I investigate liminal spaces, as well as the sensory aspects of words and the hallucinatory anatomies they generate.


I understand these practices as forms of resistance and continuity. I explore ways of studying, rehearsing, imagining, and reinventing actions and corporealities, considering their resilient vulnerabilities in the face of colonial extractive practices and cis-heteronormative powers.

I am accompanied by histories, gestures, collaborations, and materials—some vibratory, others invisible or difficult to control. These materials include oracles, the sense of touch, the sound of the voice, breathing, telepathic practices, ghosts, and translations between worlds. I dedicate myself to creating conditions that transform our bodies and, through them, allow us to perceive and know differently. The senses become antennas to detect harm and to challenge the modern concept of separability.
