Henrique Antão

Support for Direction and Research-Creation
HenriqueAntao

Henrique Antão is an artist, engineer, educator and researcher of movement, sound and the body. The physiological process of the embryonic movement and the first years of life emerges in his research as a meeting point and departure for cross-cutting questions about human ecology, driven by the possibility of a better coexistence. From the experiential research in sensory listening practices in movement, he seeks to think about educational contexts that re-center sensitivity, play, and artistic creation as driving forces for a well-being in transformation, supported by a reparative ethics of relationships. With a master's degree in Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications from the University of Aveiro in partnership with the Technische Universität Hamburg (2014), he continues his academic training attending Sound and Image Studies in the Sound/Vision master's program at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (2017), Curatorial Studies and Critical Thinking with Prof. Dr. Bonaventure Soh. Dr. Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung in the Spatial Strategies master's program at the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin (2022) and recently completed professional training in Somatic Pedagogy for Children and Adolescents in the C.A.R.E. program at the Somatische Akademie Berlin (2023). As a sound artist, he had the opportunity to create sonic spaces for the conference The Live Legacy Project: Correspondences between German Contemporary Dance and the Judson Dance Theater Movement (Düsseldorf 2014), DanceKiosk-Hamburg (2016), Ponderosa Unfestival (Brandenburg 2020), SAVVY Contemporary (Berlin 2020).
