Clarice Franco

Clarice is a queer Brazilian performer whose artistic path spans dance, theatre, and the art of storytelling through movement. Beginning with ballet, she explored jazz, frevo, heels, theatre, and jazz funk before specialising in contemporary dance. She trained at EFG em Artes Basileu França in Goiânia, Brazil (2022/23), and continues her professional formation in SPECIFIC by Loris Petrillo in Tuscania, Italy (2023–2025). 
  

Throughout her journey, Clarice has always been part of dance groups and collective creations, experiences that strengthened her belief in the power of collaboration. For her, art is not a solitary act but something that is shared, built together, and made alive in dialogue with others. 
  
Currently collaborating with DOX, she merges athletic precision with emotional intensity, embodying both vulnerability and strength. She believes deeply in an inclusive and diverse arts community, using performance as a means to voice what is often left unspoken and to create spaces of encounter. 
  
Ambitious and forward-looking, Clarice seeks to craft works that move beyond entertainment, inviting audiences to feel, reflect, and question the humanity we build collectively and individually.
