Clara Da Costa

 

    I offer my body as a territory—a living landscape of physical knowledge and memory.

    When I collaborate with another choreographer, I invite their vision to inhabit this ground. I offer my history,    pulse, and physical knowledge to serve and expand their inquiry. It is a profound dialogue where, together, we discover how a new story learns to breathe through my skin.

    In my own works, the dialogue turns inward. I become the cartographer of my own territory. I excavate my own inquiries, translating what is unwritten within me into a physical scripture for the stage.

    In both acts—of offering or of excavating—my commitment is unwavering: fierce presence and truth.   

    I aim to be a conduit that leaves more than an image. A visceral trace. An echo that resonates in the memory and body of those who watch.
