Paula works internationally, at the intersection of artistic and theoretical research in the expanded fields of choreography, performance, experimental cinema and critical archival practices, borrowing methodologies from feminist science and technology studies, combined with anticolonial perspectives of infrastructure and environmental media studies. She is integrated researcher at the Centre for Theatre Studies (CET), associated to the Institute for Contemporary History (IHC-UNL) and guest lecturer in the PhD and MD Programme in Theatre Studies at the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon (FLUL). She holds a PhD in Philosophy (epistemology and aesthetics) from the University of Paris Nanterre (2010) and was a visiting scholar at the Performance Studies / Tisch School of the Arts, New York University (2018). Paula is currently developing practices of collective cine-fabulation as a situated mode of inquiry, to address the kinds of (im)material labour, resource extraction and socio-environmental damage implicated in the very production of history, knowledge, and artificial intelligence, as well as in the maintenance of their institutions, technologies and political fictions. She has been presenting work in several artistic and academic research venues across Europe, the USA and Australia since 2005, intertwining choreographic with discursive practices, experimenting research formats that merge dissimilar kinds of (un)knowing, and enhancing the collective dimensions of reading, translating, and editing. To emphasize the forms of life (and death) implicated in any circumstances of research and/or composition, as well as the particular dramaturgies of study, research and theory-making, Paula has founded T-Fi (Theory-Fiction) Cabinet, an exploratory work-field of underground attachments between fictional and theoretical practices. With theoreticians and artists Ivana Müller, Bojana Bauer and Joachim Hamou, she co-founded INSTITUT, a Parisian platform for critical thought within artistic practices (2014). Since 2013 Paula is part of the collective baldio|Performance Studies with Lisbon peers, with whom she co-curated an Experimental Course in Performance Studies, Taking Position | The Political and Place (2016). She is the author of Relations On Paper (2013), editor of The Page As a Dancing Site (2014) and Pièces Assemblées (2017), and is currently editing the book Expanded Practices All Over: Studying-Working-Living With/Out Performance (forthcoming 2024), which includes an audio-visual extension: With/Out the Museum.
