Diz o espaço focuses on the technical research of movement, the imaginary of the body of a dancer, and its relationship of exchange and meeting with the audience and the performance space, focusing on the poetics characterizing the personal choreographic research of the dancer.

Flàvia Tapias
has been the interpreter of a large part of the repertoire of Grupo Tapiàs since 1996.
She trained in dance, but also theater, thus becoming an interpreter as well as dancer.
She has received national and international recognition for her solos in the major dance events in Brazil but also in Europe: Festival Lugar à Dança in Lisbon, Coimbra e Oeiras (Portugal); Internationales Tanzmesse NRW in Essen and Düsseldorf (Germany); Festival Havana Vieja in Havana (Cuba); Itálica Festival Internacional de Danza, in Tomares and Sevilla; Dies de Dança in Barcelona and Sitges (Spain); and La Ruée Vers Lart in Grenoble (France).
This is when the project of five choreographers for a body with an international resonance and Catherine Dunoyer, director of Danse à Lille / Les Reperages brought the whole show in 2006.
After the success of the project that earned her an extensive tour in Brazil and Europe, as well as numerous collaborations and residencies at choreography centers and festivals, Flàvia has been dedicated to her own choreographic production which has involved different languages over the years. Her works include: Exremidades, Kitnet, Roubo no museu, Habitos, Manhas and Manias, Doutor, Não para minha Filho de Dança, Brasis “Fala-me de ti”, Imortais, Anexo, PLURAL - Directed suldeste, Tudo depende de como voce me ve passar... all works for which she has been invited and presented in numerous festivals and theaters, also in Europe. She teaches the Tapias technique (of Giselle Tapias) in Brazil, France, Italy and Cuba.
