Carla Jordão is a choreographer, performer and dramaturge. Her choreographies are pieces about the influence of social systems on the human body. Her minimalist and detailed artistic language is influenced by painting, sculpture, film and photography.
She completed her B.A. studies in Dance and Stage Performance at the University of Lisbon (2000-2004) and her M.A. studies in Dance Composition at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen (2014-2016). In 2020, she founded the Cologne-based dance company SPECIES.
The group of artists around Carla Jordão explores the human body as a fragile composite of environment and inner life. SPECIES is currently focusing on "UNIVERSAL" - a series of pieces that explore the effects of different social circumstances on the human body. The first piece in the series, "A UNIVERSAL WEAKNESS", was awarded the Cologne Dance Theater Prize 2019. The piece "A UNIVERSAL HOSTILITY", created in cooperation with the Folkwang Tanzstudio, is the eighth part of the series.
