"Now" refers to the present moment. We aim to avoid deciding in advance which tools we will use. Instead of focusing on a clear starting point, we rely on momentum to keep things moving.
Questions like "What, why, who, where, and when do we start?" Help us explore methods that work with each person's character in order to find uncommon ways to move and feel.
We don’t follow a specific technique. Instead, we keep adjusting the tools we use, evolving and allowing the process to guide us toward the present moment, "Now."
Deeogo Oliveira, 32 years old, was born in Porto, Portugal.
In his career, he considers the production “Almada nada” by Ricardo Pais (2014) a pivotal moment, where he rediscovered the skills developed in Breaking and transformed them into his artistic career. Notably, he was recently nominated by Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores (SPA) for Best Dancer in the Piece "Lago Libidinal" by Jonathan Uliel Saldanha.

Simultaneously, he developed “A Coragem de ser Eu” a trilogy of pieces that form the subject of his Master’s studies in Choreographic Creation at Escola Superior de Dança.
He also made a significant contribution to the field of education, serving as a Dance and Interpretation Instructor at the Academia Contemporânea do Espetáculo (ACE), Conservatório de Dança do Norte (CDN), Balleteatro Escola Profissional, Oficina Zero, Gretua (University of Aveiro), Escola Artística da Jobra, Pallco conservatory of performing arts, Instituto Nacional de Artes do Circo (INAC), Formação Avançada em Interpretação e Criação Coreográfica (FAICC), among others.
