Carlota Lagido worked with Meg Stuart, Joana Providência, Rui Horta, and Mark Haim in the early 1990s. Since then, and for 20 years, she danced in Francisco Camacho’s most iconic pieces, notably Dom São Sebastião and Gust. Her work as a choreographer and performer has a multidisciplinary nature, addressing themes related to identity and autobiographical contexts. Key pieces include notforgetnotforgive, ro.ger, 50 toneladas and Jungle Red. Parallel to her career as a dancer and choreographer, she is a costume designer who has worked with various contemporary choreographers and theatre directors since 1988. She holds a postgraduate degree in set design from ESTC. She leads workshops on choreographic creation and set design, and aspires to be a photographer, filmmaker, and farmer.
