Catol Teixeira

Artist
Black and white portrait of a person with short hair, looking at the camera with a neutral expression. They are wearing a dark collared shirt and have a tattoo visible on their neck. The background is plain.

Born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Catol’s choreographic experimentation serves as a conduit for uncovering nuances and tactics of togetherness. Curious to deal with physical endurance, somatic practices and drawing influence from sources such as circus aerial dances, ballet, partying and celebrations: they dance while transitioning and craft performances as invocations. Catol dances as a way to remember that bodies are sites of passage, relation and negotiation between organic-political-cultural forces; they are thresholds of memories, fields of desires in motion.
