It is with immense sadness that Candoco receives the information that former company dancer and dance artist, Mickaella Dantas has passed away peacefully on the 10th of February 2024 with her parents by her side, after a long battle against cancer. Through Mickaella's hard work and sincere dedication to the art of dance, she has left a long and continuous impression in the company and beyond, where she will be greatly missed.
“My parents gave me the freedom to choose what happens to my body.”
For International Day of Disabled Persons, Candoco’s Marketing Officer, Becky Dann spoke to Candoco Dancer, Mickaella, about her experiences of becoming disabled and about how she feels about disability in Brazil compared to the UK.
My creative work in contemporary and inclusive dance follows a persistent idea – there is a power to acting in any living body and my body is the place where I want to stay…in action.
