Dancer and choreographer
Joana Franco holds a degree in dance (2019) and a master's degree in Choreographic Creation (2023), both from Escola Superior de Dança de Lisboa. She has taken an interest in choreography as a field of research on moving bodies, whether in close or in loose connection with dance, and in its intersections with composition, geometry, and mathematics.
