2021 CALENDAR
This was an unusually difficult year for humanity. It is difficult to think about it in terms of days and months, because looking back it seems just one long month…
At home, I did my best to stay creative, to become more aware of my connectedness to others and the planet, always being grateful for a life well lived in the performing arts.
I maintained some private clients and gave classes and lectures online. Moreover, I took more time to study and to write. So, it also became the year that I wrote an directed my first feature film, which honours the memory of women who lived the horrors of concentration camps during WWII. The whole experience made me appreciate how collaborative it is to make movies. I am specially grateful to Patricia Niedermeier, who co-directed the film and is its sole actress, and to Cavi Borges, who produced the film with us.
Towards the end of the year, I received an invitation to create a performance for the re-opening of the Helio Oiticica Artistic Center. It was amazing to plunge more deeply into his work and to count on the refined creativity of dancer Marina Salomon, who performed in “Walking with HO” with one Oiticica “Parangolé” inside one of his outdoor “Penetráveis”.
