Dance not dance — Archaeologies of new dance in Portugal — explores the evolution of dance through the 20th and early 21st centuries. Curated through a collaboration that gathered diverse archival materials, I was responsible for photographing all rehearsals and performances, capturing the creative process. The program challenged linear narratives of dance history, presenting a multifaceted view of its evolution and the shifting notions of the body and movement in society and concluded with an exhibition held from 15 November 2024 to 13 January 2025.
