Ricardo Machado is a choreographer and regular performer in multiple contemporary performing arts contexts, often participating in artistic co-creation projects with transdisciplinary research groups. He has worked as a performer and co-creator with various choreographers and stage directors, such as Aldara Bizarro, Né Barros, Moncho Rodríguez, Victor Hugo Pontes, Rui Lopes Graça, Kurt Demey, Marielle Morales, Olga Roriz, Karine Ponties, Anna Réti, Ido Batash, Madalena Victorino, Circolando, Luiz Antunes, São Castro, António Cabrita, Roberto Olivan, or Hotel Europa. The main drive behind his artistic presence is movement, and his field of creation is dance—both in traditional contexts (the theater) and in settings dictated by the space and context of the performance itself. Como pedras fora do chão, co-created with Pedro Salvador, REI-SOL, L’après-midi d’un sportif, Point of You, co-created with Anna Réti, Ponto Ómega, co-created with Madalena Victorino, Take a Stand, co-created with Clara Antunes, MARKULUS, and L’aprés-midi de deux sportifs are the first pieces signed by him.
