Poliana Lima (Brazil, 1983) is a choreographer, dancer and teacher. She always wanted to be a dancer ever since she was a child, and at the age of 20 it became a vital part of her life. Since her first creation, Palo En La Rueda, in 2011, her works have received awards and are performed at different national and international festivals.
Taking the body as the core of her expression, she explores the possibilities of creating poetry on stage aimed at communicating simply and profoundly with the audience. Identity and memory are recurrent themes in her creations, likewise the relationship between creation and teaching, which she considers an essential part of her work as an artist.
