Duda Paiva Company creates poetic, dynamic and boundary-pushing visual theatre at the intersection of dance and sculpture. Under the artistic direction of Duda Paiva, we use the Object Score technique, in which dancers and foam sculptures engage in a physical and emotional dialogue. We create performances for audiences of all ages, perform worldwide, collaborate with local partners and share our knowledge.

Our performances address urgent themes such as sustainability, inclusivity and social change. Duda’s Brazilian heritage, together with the folklore and mysticism connected to it, gives the sculptures a profound cultural and emotional meaning. Through the Object Score technique, these stories are brought to life in a unique way.

Investing in the Future

The Object Score is the innovative technique developed by Duda to bring foam sculptures to life. Duda shares this technique worldwide through workshops, giving young artists the opportunity to develop their artistic skills and apply the Object Score method in their own work.

Through his many years of experience, Duda has trained a community of young theatre makers. The impact of Duda’s teaching is clearly visible in their work. As a Visionary, you contribute to this sustainable exchange, giving young makers the opportunity to tell stories that inspire connection and change.
