Poliana Lima

Poliana Lima is a Brazilian choreographer, dancer and teacher based in Madrid. In 2011 she made her first creation, the short piece Palo En La Rueda. A year later, she began collaborating with Lithuanian choreographer Ugne Dievaityte, whose pieces toured several national and international festivals. Taking the body as the central object of her expression, Poliana explores the possibilities of creating poetics on stage that are capable of communicating with the audience in a simple and profound way. Themes such as identity and memory are recurrent in her creations, to which she adds the relationship between creation and pedagogy, which she considers a fundamental part of her work as an artist. She has been an associate artist at Condeduque-Madrid (2018-20) and has received support from Teatros del Canal, CND-Pantin, Festival Dias da Dança-Oporto, Aerowaves, among others.
