Guilherme Garrido

A choreographer and a dancer, Guilherme Garrido is most interested in the relationship between dance and events such as television shows, films, or rock concerts. He often says, with his trademark humour, that he is but a showman masquerading as a contemporary dancer. A faithful acolyte of Pieter Ampe, with whom he has toured extensively, he is also the director of the multidisciplinary festival A Porta, in Porto. Active in both northern Europe and in his native Portugal, he presented “Try Romance” for Marseille-Provence 2013.
