Marga Alfeirão
Marga Alfeirão (Lisbon, 1994) uses media to carve safe spaces for the exploration of intimacy and sexuality through dance and performance.
Heavily influenced by dance-genres and sound textures from the African diaspora disseminated through Lisbon’s social tissue, she attempts an active claim of womanhood, making room for lesbian sensualities.
Graduated from HZT’s BA in dance and choreography in Berlin (2021), she initiated Lapdances to Ringtones and Lullabies,
a research on erotics and rest. Marga has worked with choreographer Tamara Alegre, Antonja Livingstone and Architect Afaina de Jong.
She is an active member of the Portuguese Ballroom scene and founding member of the Casa das Musas in Lisbon, and In Berlin she started COYOTE PRETTY UGLY, a performance intervention to entertain and exhilarate the lesbian queer evenings of the city. Her first work LOUNGE, a lesbian lap dance duet, premiered in Tanztage, in Sophiensaelle and is still touring, most recently featured in Tanzplatform Germany.
LOUNGE won the Young Choreographers Prize 2023, of Impulstanz 8:tension.
