Torres Novas, Portugal, 1985.

David Marques holds a master’s degree in Aesthetics and Art Studies – Art and Political Cultures from NOVA FCSH. He studied at the Lisbon School of Dance (ESD), and participated in the EXERCE program at Centre Chorégraphique National de Montpellier with a grant by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. In his research, he often deals with the conditions and contexts – personal, social, institutional or philosophical – that favor the emergence and practice of dance. He has developed projects in collaboration with Nuno Pinheiro, Tiago Cadete and Teresa Silva. As a performer, he has collaborated with Loïc Touzé (in Fanfare, Forme Simple, Petit Trafic and Cabaret Brouillon), Francisco Camacho, Filipa Francisco, Lucie Tuma, Tiago Guedes, Raquel Castro and Emily Wardill, among others. He created the solo pieces Motor de Busca, KIN and Dança Sem Vergonha, the group pieces Ressaca, Mistério da Cultura and Teorias da Inspiração, and coproductions with institutions such as Centro Cultural de Belém, Culturgest, the Materiais Diversos Festival, and Teatro do Bairro Alto. Between 2021 and 2023, he worked as a facilitator and curator in the program ITINERÁRIOS, an initiative of the Estúdios Victor Córdon and the Camões Institute in Maputo. He was awarded the SPA Authors Prize for Choreography for the piece Mistério da Cultura. David Marques belongs, since its foundation in 2020, to the facilitating team of Ação Cooperativista, an informal activist group that advocates for the rights of cultural professionals in Portugal. He is co-founder of the cultural association PARCA.
