João Silveira

Since then, he has built up a very consistent career participating in both national and international productions, always mixing in boleadoras, folkloric ballet, tap, percussion, traditional music, electronic music and any other style that could improve his performance. The United States, Argentina, France, Japan, Lebanon, Monaco, Paraguay, Uruguay, Germany, and Romania are some of the countries where he has already shown his work as well as more than 300 cities throughout Brazil.

João Silveira is also a pharmacist. With his multidisciplinary background in art and science, João is studying the "Art, artist and artistic interaction with science". The goal is to investigate how interactions between art and science occur, and what are the results of these two fields having dialogue based on a contemporary investigation of projects in Brazil, France, and the United States. This work has been presented in several universities such as Harvard, MIT, Ryerson University and Imperial College London. João is a member of the Sociedad del Rayo – Comité Internacional de Arte, Ciência y Tecnologia (Core founder – Colombia) and Art & Science Collaborations (ASCI).
