David Marques (Torres Novas, 1985) started dancing at the age of five with Helena Azevedo. He studied at the Escola Superior de Dança – IPL in Lisbon and participated in the training at the Centre Chorégraphique National de Montpellier as a scholarship holder of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. He is currently attending a master's degree in Aesthetics and Artistic Studies - Art and Political Cultures at NOVA FCSH. He began to develop his work as a choreographer with the support of EIRA, in Lisbon, which he continued during the periods he lived in France and Israel. He has created stage pieces and collaborated with artists such as Ido Feder, Tiago Cadete, Teresa Silva and Diogo Brito for the development of artistic projects in various media and platforms. In addition to his activity as a performer with authors such as Loïc Touzé, David Wampach, Francisco Camacho, Filipa Francisco, Lucie Tuma, Raquel Castro, Tiago Vieira and Emily Wardill, he has followed projects by other artists as an outside look. He regularly proposes laboratories as part of his projects for the scene. In his work, he has addressed the multidimensionality of the relationships between attention, memory and the body, looking for unlikely relational spaces to challenge recognizable temporalities. He received the SPA Authors Award for ‘Coreografia’ with his play ‘Mistério da Cultura’.
