Cécile Da Costa
Prague-based performer-singer, choreographer-director and pedagogue. Awarded «Dancer of the Year» by Czech Dance Platform 2018 and nominated by the Total Physical awards in Fringe 2017 for her performance The Narrator, under Spitfire Company. In 2019 she premiered Roselyne, her first author theater production in Prague. In 2021, Roselyne was selected as one of the three Czech productions to be showcased at Twenty21 by Aerowaves – a European selection of the 20 top works in physical theatre.
She runs workshops based on movements and voice in Czech and Europe. In her work, she is searching for connections between the vibrations of the body and the vibrations of the voice. She teaches regular classes in the frame of the European project Dance Well, which focuses on people with Parkinson's disease but is open to everyone, regardless of age, movement limitations, or experience. She is also the co-founder of a project called Circative, which aims to present to teachers from primary schools a set of circus/dance-inspired activities, thanks to which they can expand their pedagogical register.
