Sara Anjo (PT 1982) is a dancer and choreographer interested in meditative practices that generate psico-physical changes, breathing and walking are the main ones. She permanently questions herself about: what moves us? How do we move? And to where are we moving?

​

She has graduated in the Contemporary Dance Academy (2001). She studied Artistic Studies (BA) at the Faculty of Arts of Lisbon (2008) and Contemporary Art (post-graduation) at Lisbon’s Catholic University (2011). She holds a master in choreography from Das Graduate School in Amsterdam (2016). She also studied Yoga at the Yoga Shamkya School (2003) in Lisbon.

​

As a maker she is interested in choreographic proposals that activate a sonic theatre, where choreography and the performative space are explored through soundscape. She devised "Nobody would know to tell that story" a performance around the female world where she collaborated with 6 female artists (BoxNova CCB 2011); "Liquid Landscapes" a travelling dance in an old washing house in Lisbon (Teatro do Silêncio 2012); "Shaped as a Tree", a solo about dis-quietness (Negócio ZDB 2016); "Sacrum", a magnetic walking (Negócio ZDB 2018). Since 2012 makes part of the project "Walking" from Teatro do Silêncio. At the moment she collaborates with Teresa Silva in the project "Oracle"; with Michelle Moura in the project "Here we are in this little step" and with Flora Detraz in a research work with body and voice.

​

She has developed performances for young audience, where she explores the relation between figurative and abstract imagination together with her research to create a sonic theatre. She developed In "Search of Ballerina Feet" together with Teatro do Silêncio (2013), "Everything in the World began with a yes" (CCB-Fábrica das Artes 2016) with the composer Filipe Raposo and "Starts Wash your Feet" (CCB-Fábrica das Artes 2018). She published the book "Dancing Dot", and she develops workshops with it.
