🎭 The Actress

My first connection with theater was through my elementary school art teacher, but it wasn’t until high school in 2012 that I began taking formal theater classes.

In 2013, I joined several musical theater workshops and later that year was accepted into a unique university program in São Paulo: the Communication and Arts of the Body degree at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo. The program offered specializations in theater, performance art, and dance, allowing me to explore embodiment, philosophy, communication theories, and performing arts in a deeply integrated way.

College was a transformative period for me—not only because I was young, but because I was learning how to think, speak, move, and feel through the language of the body and arts. The Communication and Arts of the Body program helped shape who I am as a woman and artist.

In my final years, I joined Cia. Clareou, a theater collective based in Osasco, my hometown. Our work explored themes like femicide and religious intolerance. In 2018, we staged Selva de Pedra (Concrete Jungle) at FENAPO (Osasco National Poetry Festival), where I received the “Revelation Actress” award. That same year, the company was recognized by Brazil’s Ministry of Culture as a “Point of Culture.” My final production with Cia. Clareou was Etérnia, presented during the I Regional Meeting of Culture Points in 2019.

🩰 The Dancer

I began studying classical ballet in 2007 at Conservatório Villa-Lobos in Osasco. I still remember my first performance—completely unprepared, but full of joy. I watched others, learned the choreography on the spot, and fell in love with the magic of movement.

Over the next seven years, I trained intensively in ballet and believed it might become my career. But when I entered college, I realized that although I loved dancing, the rigidity of ballet no longer fit my creative spirit.

In 2017, I co-founded an experimental dance group called Cia. Marginais (The Marginals Company). We created the project Amor Marginal (Marginal Love), which explored LGBTQIA+ love and the lives of those pushed to the margins. Our choreographies blended classical ballet, contemporary, and modern dance—always with a political and emotional core, often inspired by the music of Brazilian artist Johnny Hooker.
