Rosana Ribeiro, born in Lisbon, is a Salzburg-based choreographer who works from the body as a place of memory. Her physically driven performances explore roots, ancestry, belonging, and the entanglement of nature and culture. Movement is her primary language, creating dense sensory spaces that invite audiences to feel before they understand. Trained in circus arts, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Dance from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds (UK). She has performed with Hofesh Shechter, Jean Abreu, Cie.7273, and Paulo Ribeiro, and co-founded the association Selva with Verena Pircher.
