Cláudia Nwabasili and Roges Doglas are the creators and directors of Cia Pé no Mundo. The company was founded in the search for Black representation in the contemporary dance scene. Cia Pé no Mundo’s dance language is based on practical and theoretical research on the dialogue between Brazilian African Indigenous manifestations and contemporary dance.
With a very diversified background in dance, Cláudia Nwabasili and Roges Doglas have studied with Francesca Harper (Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Forsythe Company), Marta Coronado (Cia. Rosas – Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker), Teresa Navarrete (Dance Conservatory of Seville/ Spain), Shelley Senter (Cia Trisha Brown) and Ko Murobushi, amongst others. Together they toured several countries such as Argentina, Austria, Spain, France, Portugal and Russia. Acting as dancers, they also worked with Antonio Nóbrega, Ismael Ivo, Ivaldo Bertazzo, Fernando Lee, Maxine Happener, Né Barros, Pablo Sansalvador, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Tati Sanchis and Tino Sehgal, amongst others.
In 2022, they developed a research project at the artistic residency Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, through the Brasil Cena Aberta project in partnership with the City of Paris and the Consulate of France.
The company made their LDIF debut in 2023 and return with a new duet, celebrating the start of the festival week, exploring the intangible connections across the Diaspora and the hidden histories that are woven into the fabric of cities such as Leicester.
