Lívia Delgado - Choreographer and Performer

Lívia Maria Delgado is an artist based between Berlin and São Paulo. She graduated in Classical and Contemporary Dance from the Conservatory of Dance of São Paulo and trained in Performing Arts at Senac São Paulo. Her work explores themes of migration, borders, consumption, and environmental precarity.

Since 2020, she has developed Baderna, an ongoing research strand supported by the Daku Fund (2023), which rethinks entropy and agency through Karen Barad’s agential realism. Baderna unfolded during the Raíz Residency with the Kalipety Indigenous community in April 2025 (Parelheiros, SP) and is currently being further developed alongside videographer Caio de Siervi Barcellos.

Most recently, Lívia worked with Mari Paula as a researcher and assistant director on Lake Machine, a Goethe-Institut–supported project, for its premiere in Cantabria in September 2025. In March 2026, she premiered Pirarucu, a piece by Clébio Oliveira in collaboration with the collective Nós.

She also works as a dance teacher, fitness instructor, and movement director, maintaining active collaborations across Brazil and Europe while continuously refining her artistic language. She is part of the volunteer team at Strassenfeger e.V., a shelter in Berlin.
