Mia Meneses
Mia Meneses, actress and performer, attended the Professional Course in Performing Arts at Liceu Passos Manuel, the course in Communication Sciences at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and the Master’s Degree in Performing Arts.
She enrolled in the Master’s Degree in Performing Arts at the Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema in 2021, where she presented her own project, “Bloco 11”, which was shown at ZDB and Weld (Stockholm).
As an actress and performer, she has collaborated with José Boavida, Luís Miguel Cintra, Carlos Pessoa, Ana Borralho and João Galante, Nuno Pinheiro, Adriana Melo, Diana Niepce, Tiago Vieira, Dinis Machado, Daniel Pizzamiglio, and Colectivo Caroço.
She attended training for artists with disabilities, Diana Niepce‘s NORMA training, performing arts training as part of the Europe Beyond Access program at CODA – Oslo International Dance Festival, and André Uerba’s SPACE WEAVERS training.
Her last work is a solo called “A ferida”, a dance piece that seeks to expose the pleasure of bodies invisible to society. It explores intimacy and seeks to touch on the wound of exposing sexuality in disability. The vulnerability and power that a non-normative body brings to the stage. It seeks to go beyond conventional narratives of disability and bring the voice of the disabled person to the fore, through their own experience.
