Ana Riscado is a creative producer, visual researcher and dramaturge with a strong interest in performance, dance and contemporary theatre. She holds a Master’s in Visual Cultural Anthropology and a BA in Public Relations, both from Lisbon, as well as a Music Management Certificate from ESE London. Over the years she has collaborated with international organisations, festivals, independent artists and curators across Lisbon, Berlin, London, Brussels and São Paulo. Her interests span cultural analysis, performance studies, art history and literary criticism. She received support from DIS‑TANZEN des Dachverband Tanz Deutschland and Produktion Bande. Her engagement with criticism began through video‑essays, using frame‑per‑second as a tool to reflect on image‑based knowledge production, later expanding toward historical reception and spectatorship in film and live art.
