Clara Da Costa

 

Clara is an incredibly capable, competent, attentive professional and an ARTIST in all capital letters!

Connected with the current times she lives, while at the same time with a deep-rooted mastery of traditional technique, she contributed, every time we were together, in such an effective way that the final applause was inevitably effusive! A hurricane! A blessed and artistic soul!

"Working with Clara da Costa is an experience your body won’t forget. Clara is the kind of professional you immediately want to work with again. I recommend her with total confidence; she’s hands down one of the best I’ve ever worked with.

I’ve worked with her a few times, first as an actor, where her attention to each performer and her commitment to the process stood out. Her choreography has a remarkable quality, always carrying a strong sense of identity.

Later, as someone who hired her, I saw firsthand how organized and methodical she is. Bringing Clara on board—as a teacher, choreographer, or director—is always a great decision, delivering clear results on stage and satisfying everyone involved."

"To witness Clara perform is to encounter the most intense artist I know. She doesn't just dance; she narrates with her entire being, embodying stories with breathtaking technique, an undeniable presence, and moments of pure genius.

Working with Clara da Costa is always a pleasure because beyond her talent and creativity, there is an incredible richness of detail in her creations. With an unwavering focus on the narrative, she knows precisely where the body meets the soul, and the result is always profoundly moving."

"There's a clear division in my artistic self: who I was BEFORE CLARA, and who I became AFTER CLARA. Working with her transformed, and continues to transform, my approach to dance and theater, making me rethink it and build the profound body awareness I have now."
