Screening and subsequent discussion of: The Migrant Body, directed by Paula Higa

Presented by: Claudia Albuquerque

Speakers: Paula Higa and Mario Higa

Paula Higa, director. She is a Brazilian-born American choreographer with over 40 years of experience in dance. Known for her innovative choreography, she has produced and directed dance films and performed both as a soloist and with her company, PH Dance. In 2025-26, she was invited to collaborate as a visiting professor with the Center for Brazilian Studies at the University of Salamanca.

Mario Higa is a full professor of Brazilian language and literature at Middlebury College in the USA. He is the author of several books and articles published in Brazil, the USA, and Europe. He was invited to collaborate as a visiting professor at the Center for Brazilian Studies at the University of Salamanca in 2025-26.

The Migrant Body (2023) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary project featuring choreography, music, film, and artist-directed poetry. It was inspired by Higa's move to the United States with her family in 2004. It explores the complexities of human mobility while investigating the meaning of origin and home; it encourages us to reflect on our origins and question who, if anyone, in the world is not a migrant.
