Bruno Listopad is an artist, researcher, consultant and content strategist, who investigates dramaturgy, embodied movement, and performance, both in its strict and expanded modes, as models to access potential correlations between spectatorship, subjectification, contingency, and eventuation. They approach this exploration transindividually, attuning to the singularity of each collaborative occasion. Listopad started studying dance in Lisbon at The National Conservatory Dance School and debuted as a choreographer in The Netherlands in 1998 at the Holland Dance Festival. Their work has been commissioned by institutions, including the Holland Dance Festival, Acarte, Korzo producties, Springdance Festival, Dansgroep Krisztina de Châtel, Ballet Gulbenkian, Rotterdam-Porto Cultural Capitals 2001, Dance Works Rotterdam, Nye Carte Blanche, Dutch National Ballet, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, and Something Raw Festival. Awards received include the Prize of Interpretation Prix Volinine (1997), Revelation Prize Ribeiro da Fonte from the Portuguese Ministry of Culture (1999), Choreography Encouragement Prize from the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts (2000), and the Philip Morris Art Prize (2001). Listopad, along with four other artists, led the choreographic research institute Danslab, co-curated the performance exhibition 'To All Tomorrow's Parties' at TENT Rotterdam, and curated 'WeberWoche,' an exhibition and performance program at Stroom Den Haag with contributions from artists, including Lizzie Fitch/Ryan Trecartin. They co-authored visual work, namely 'SHOW MORE,' exhibited at Stroom Den Haag.
