In 2010, choreographers Marcela Levi (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Lucía Russo (Patagonia, Argentina), who have been active in the field of research-based dance in Brazil and internationally for over 30 years, founded Improvável Produções in Rio de Janeiro, a platform dedicated to training, research, and creation. Levi & Russo are committed to a polyphonic direction in which different inventive positions intertwine in a process that embraces deviant lines, dissent, and internal differences as a constructive critical force, rather than as self-excluding polarities. With a repertoire that weaves together dances, music, voices, and ways of thinking from different times and places, Improvável affirms contemporary dance as an expanded field of coexistence and critical thought. Improvável Produções is responsible for the conception, creation, and production of the dance works Monstrous Nature(2011); Mordedores (2015) — included in O Globo’s list of outstanding dance performances of 2015; Iron Mouth (2016) — included in O Globo’s list of outstanding dance performances of 2018 and nominated for the Cesgranrio Dance Prize in the categories “Best Choreography” and “Best Dancer”; Let It Burn (2017) — included in O Globo’s list of outstanding dance performances of 2017; HARM-ONY (2019), co-produced by the Iberescena Fund and NAVE (Santiago, Chile); grrRoUNd (2021), co-produced by Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Kaaitheater, Julidans, Pact Zollverein, and Something Great; 3 against 2: Psycho Tropics (2023), co-produced by Julidans, Centre Chorégraphique National de Caen en Normandie (within the framework of Accueil Studio), Sítio Canto da Sabiá, and Something Great; what is the chorus. chorus (2024), a piece commissioned for the 32 dancers of the São Paulo City Ballet; and Out of Frame, nominated for the Rose International Prize at Sadler’s Wells, London (Second Edition, 2027).
