Analivia Cordeiro

Analivia Cordeiro is a Brazilian dancer, choreographer, and artist who pioneered the use of computers and video in the design and performance of dance. Born in 1954, she is the daughter of concrete artist Waldemar Cordeiro. Since the 1970s, she has developed innovative methods for notating and capturing human movement using digital technologies. Her work M 3×3 (1973) is considered one of the first computer-generated choreographies. She continues to explore the intersection of technology and embodied experience through projects such as BodyWays , an app that allows users to capture and share their movements. Her work has been exhibited and performed globally and is included in collections such as MoMA, New York; V&A, London; and the Reina Sofia, Madrid.
