Considered a pioneer in both video art and computer-based video dance as well as an innovator in body art, the Brazilian artist, dancer, and choreographer Analívia Cordeiro (*1954) has been developing since the early 1970s a continuous and intense work exploring the relationships between body, movement, visual and audiovisual art as well as media art.

“No matter what age, no matter how much dance experience, everyone can learn through movement." (A. Cordeiro)
