Stage Production
Adaptation:The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
At this production, I made an adaptation script of the book/movie: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe into a Theater Performance using dance, drama, and music.
I found very interesting the process of projecting a nonhuman character into a human body.
This has been overcome with the help of dance techniques, drama, and artistic makeup.
In this project, I learned how to balance the stage with more than one important character.
I wanted to make sure that each teacher would have their place to shine, without running away from the main plot.
When Life Invites you to Dance
In 2019 an opportunity was handed to me, and the possibility to produce a show from beginning to end landed in my hands. The purpose: tell a story about one of the most influential dancers in my city.
This was my first time being the head and creative director of a dance show.
I had the opportunity to learn by practicing many stage techniques such as lighting, sound directing, d scene directing of 80 dancers of all kinds of lives and ages, dancing in different styles. The biggest challenge was to tell and script a life story, without using words and only using body language.
When life invites you to dance
Academy Simone Matheus's “Act XX - When life invites you to dance”.
An original script about the 20 years of (Academy Dance Simone Matheus), inspired by the own
Simone Matheus's true history and the whole development of the Academy and its impact on
people's lives and the city, until nowadays. I needed to tell the story of how she helped the community develop great artists and expand culture through dance.Plot: When she was 18 years old, her family asked her to become a lawyer. Her dream was to be a ballerina. She did become a lawyer but also pursued her dream.
This is Simone Matheus celebrating her 20's Years Dance Academy anniversary with her all-time dance professors.

Short Dance Film | My Hometown
One of the most significant challenges I faced was creating visually stunning dance sequences within 10 hours of recording, despite unexpected incidents, inexperienced dancers, and a very short budget. The dance students spent countless hours in rehearsals, perfecting each step and ensuring that every movement was both graceful and impactful. This required a lot of careful planning and rehearsal to translate my artistic view into this piece.
Despite these challenges, we were able to create a stunning reinterpretation of "La La Land" that hopefully honors the original while also bringing something new and exciting to the table. I'm incredibly proud of the end result, and I hope audiences will love it as much as we do.
Dance MV: MITO & So Beautiful
With the Covid Pandemic lockdown, and facing so many restrictions regarding not only live performances but our lives in general, I have come to find my long childhood dream and passion for movies once again. What had been neglected by time and lack of hope began to come into the light, and as one of the lucky ones through these tough times, I found myself asking what was holding me back.
As the answer, I decided to move forward and try something out of my comfort zone. To improve my ability and push my creativity to the next level.
