Renata Pereira Lima:

(b. 1994) is a Cuban/Brazilian artist whose work explores the body as a vessel of reactionary and archivable phenomena. Through site-specific performance / installation, video-making, and gestures of dance, her research in choreography seeks to minimize expectations of narrative and maximize the body’s ability to communicate on a tactile level: the space the body moves through, the energetic tone of the environment or natural light, and the sounds that pervade the space and therefore, the body in movement, all represent indeterminate happenings to be examined. Rhythm, bodily rhythm, is essential even as the dance is translated into installation or video, which continues a thematic obligation to the scaffolding of time itself.

Aside from choreographing and editing her own body of work, Renata splits her time between Mexico City and New York as a movement director and collaborator on music videos, dance films, and commercials.
