Cl\u00e1udia Tatinge Nascimento is an artist-scholar with an interest in experimental, ensemble, and dance-theater performance. She is the author of\u00a0After the Long Silence: The Theater of Brazil\u2019s <\/em>Post-Dictatorship Generation<\/em> and\u00a0Crossing Cultural Borders Through the Actor\u2019s Work: <\/em>Foreign Bodies of Knowledge<\/em>, both from Routledge. Her articles appear internationally in theater and performance studies anthologies, as well as in journals such as A[l]berto and Folhetim
\n(Brazil), Biblioteca Teatrale (Italy), Didaskalia (Poland), Studia Dramatica (Romania), and TDR and Theater Research International (United States).<\/p>\n

Tatinge Nascimento began a professional stage career while living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the United States, she performed with Cleveland\u2019s New World Performance Laboratory in Europe, North and South America, and participated in Jerzy Grotowski\u2019s final Objective Drama Session at the UC-Irvine. As a director, she received a Consulate General of Brazil in New York Arts Grant to stage Pornographic Angel, her published adaptation of Nelson Rodrigues\u2019 short stories at The Ohio Theater. She is the dramaturg for Li Chiao-Ping Dance\u2019s Here Lies the Truth<\/em>, a dance piece on social inequity that has been presented at the Overture in Madison, the Asian Dance Festival in Honolulu, and San Francisco\u2019s CounterPulse Festival. Tatinge Nascimento was a fellow with the Mellon Foundation\u2019s Renewed Purpose\/Macalester College\u2019s Institute for Global Citizenship, and at Trinity College Dublin\u2019s Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research, Wesleyan University\u2019s Center for the Humanities, and Freie Universit\u00e4t-Berlin\u2019s \u201cInterweaving Performance Cultures\u201d International Research Center. In the spring 2023, she was an artist in residence at Caldera Arts Center. The performances that she creates emphasize specificity and personal engagement in non-linear (and often non-narrative)structures. Tatinge Nascimento\u2019s current dance-theater project explores geopolitical
\ndisplacement.<\/p>\n

Tatinge Nascimento is on the editorial boards of Kotter Editorial, Latin American Theater Review, and Pit\u00e1goras 500, and is the guest editor of special issues on contemporary Brazilian theater in scholarly periodicals such as Theater\u2014Yale\u2019s Journal of Criticism, Plays, and
\nReportage and Theater Research International. In 2019 she chaired the American Society for Theater Research (ASTR) Barnard Hewitt Prize for Outstanding Research in Theatre History in 2019 and currently serves as the organization\u2019s Secretary. Tatinge Nascimento holds an Acting Conservatory Degree from Casa das Artes de Laranjeiras and a Ph.D. in Theatre and Drama from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.<\/p>\n
