Vinicius has focused on the ‘body’ as his main platform. He examines the expressive meanings of the body immersed in questions echoing the contemporary world, interrogating sexuality, gender, identity, isolation and technology. He is interested in exploring the relationships between dance, performance and theatre, movement and disconnected narratives, combining a strong physicality to achieve engaging live performances. The intention is to create work that relies on the experience of the viewer and which also creates a strong visual aesthetic. Working in multiple disciplines of dance, theatre and film Vinicius Salles’ experiences include choreographing, performing, directing, filmmaking and teaching.
