MEET THE NEW CREATIVE FORCES

From Instável – Centro Coreográfico (Portugal)
Ana Catarina Silva is a freelance costume designer, with experience in artistic projects of different scales and contexts: theatre, opera, circus, advertising, among others. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre, with a specialization in Costume Design, from the School of Music and Performing Arts. And she recently completed the Production course at Instável.
Silva took part in several European projects already, namely Erasmus+ exchanges and a European Solidarity Corps volunteer programme in Italy, where she collaborated with project management and coordination teams. With an active associative background, she's part of the board of two cultural associations, in which she already had the opportunity to coordinate European applications and artistic productions, and is currently the president of a cultural association in development.
Ana Catarina Pereira is a performer, choreographer and emerging creative producer based in Porto. With a multidisciplinary background bridging artistic practice, production, and pedagogy, she develops her work by critically reflecting on the sustainability of cultural processes.
She graduated as a Contemporary Dance Performer from Balleteatro (2021) and completed the Advanced Training in Interpretation and Choreographic Creation (FAICC) at Instável – Centro Coreográfico (2022), later supplementing her education with the Contemporary Artistic Production Course (2026). Alongside her performing career she has built a solid path in logistical support, coordination, and production assistance within prominent contexts and festivals, notably Corpo + Cidade, the Family Film Project, and Extemporânea festivals.
Her practice extends strongly into pedagogy and community outreach, teaching contemporary dance, floor barre, and creative dance across various public and private educational institutions and studios in Porto.
