Luisa Amorim studied Drama at ESTC in Lisbon. There she understands the different shapes theatre can take and that she wasn’t interested in all of them. Perhaps she was looking for a specific type of communication. Later, in Porto, together with other practitioners, she develops a practice that they called directing in real time. A game between director, actor(s) and audience in what part of the show is created on stage by all of them. In London, where is currently based, she got close to Performance and Live Art and started creating her own pieces, exploring notions of ‘real’ and ‘real time’.

Marie-Gabrielle Rotie creates interdisciplinary works, embracing the mediums of choreography, live-art performance, film, photography, installation and the site-specific. Rotie’s creations mainly focus on the body in relation to identity, desire and death. Each work is conceptually driven and originates from research encompassing mythology, psychology, contemporary art, ontology and metaphysics. Her work is informed by her training as a Fine Art painter, and is distinguished by a strong sense of staging and design, creating immersive worlds which hover between dream and poetry.
