Carolina Mendonça holds a Master’s degree in Choreography and Performance from the University of Giessen, Germany, and a BA in Performing Arts from ECA-USP, Brazil. Her most recent projects include Something is Approaching (2025), a muscular rumination on how our bodies may be silently preparing for attack; Zones of Resplendence (2023), which speculates on feminist perspectives on violence, presented at Beursschouwburg, Open Studios at Kaaistudios, as part of It Takes a City, and Festival Salmon; Pulp – History as a Warm Wet Place (2018), presented at Mousonturm, which deals with an intuitive archaeology digesting the remains of the 17th and 18th centuries; and useless land (2018), in which, together with Catalina Insignares, she invites audiences to sleep while they read throughout the night. The work has been presented in different contexts, including Maerzmusik in Berlin, La Ferme du Buisson in Paris, Beursschouwburg in Brussels, Sesta in Prague, and NIDO in Uruguay, among others.
Carolina is a dramaturg and research partner of Carolina Bianchi in the Cadela Força Trilogy, which received the Silver Lion at the Venice Dance Biennale in 2025. She was also one of the hosts of NIDO (2022), together with Suely Rolnik and Victoria Pérez Royo, and one of the curators, alongside Marcos Galon and Thereza Farkas, of VERBO (2017) at Galeria Vermelho and the Dance Season (2017) at Videobrasil, both in São Paulo.
She develops a theoretical and practical research practice that she shares through workshops addressing telepathy, levitation, deep listening, and other practices, which have been held at institutions such as Exerce in Montpellier (France), Tabakalera in Donostia (Spain), NIDO in Rivera (Uruguay), HfMDK in Frankfurt (Germany), and Tehran National Theater in Tehran (Iran), among others.
