React is just like one of its performances: it’s constantly changing, evolving and adapting. We challenge ourselves in the same way we challenge the audience: having fun while raising questions and discovering the limits of all these rules we set for ourselves and that are set for us. Creating in React, for me, is a never ending act of problem solving and creativity: how can we make all these parts fit in a somehow cohesive way? We, the audience, the space and everything in between.
Rodrigo Vilarinho is a creator, dancer and performer with a mixed background before discovering dance: academic studies in biology, experience in social work, education, Martial Arts, physical theater and street performance. He is one of the co-founders of React Public Performances.
He is originally from Lisbon, Portugal, but he did his bachelor degree in Dance at DOCH – The University of Dance and Circus, in Stockholm. He has been working as a freelance artist in several productions around Europe, including pieces by Margrét Sara Gudjónsdóttir, reperformances of Marina Abramović and collaborations in performances of LUIT – Laboratoire Urbain d’Interventions Temporaires.
