Caro Novella, Ph.D.

Artist-Researcher working with Art Practices & Knowledge. Interested in co.creation and movement scores as relational study, I cultivate rehearsal as method to ignite inquiry, research and activate and connect people through questions that matter while crafting performance pieces. 

I cultivate practices at the intersection of dance and improvisation, body installation, visual poetry, collaborative dramaturgy, text composition, bio-art, arts and sciences, and performance art. My conceptual curiosities orient towards the bio-medical sciences and techno-feminist explorations. I am also drawn to Communities of Practice.

I have and continue to train in multiple artistic languages, and obtained a BA in organizational communication, a MA in health communication, and a PhD in Performance Studies (by University of California). I found, in the study and development of Practice As Research (a methodological approach from Performance Studies) - also known as embodied knowledge or Action-Research or Research-Creation, my way of holding Critical Questions, Relational explorations, and the Juicynness of navigating ‘not-knowing’, together.
