Lua Carreira (Lisbon, 1997) is a choreographer and dancer. She graduated from the Dance School of the National Conservatory of Portugal and developed her professional career as a dancer with Ballet Junior de Genève in Switzerland, and later with EgriBianco Danza in Italy.

As a creator, she develops transdisciplinary work focused on the deconstruction of the performative body through the relationship between choreography and technology. Among her creations are Kind of Blue (2021), nominated for the dance award at the Mostra Nacional de Jovens Criadores 2022, and Halo Blackness of the Heart (2024), nominated for the interdisciplinary crossover award at the same event. Most recently, she premiered BLACK SUN (2025).

Alongside her artistic practice, she works in movement coordination and movement creation for cinema and theatre projects by director and filmmaker Marco Martins, including the feature film A Colónia (release date to be announced) and the theatre production An Enemy of the People (2025).

In the field of cultural management, she was co-founder and artistic director of EmFim – Associação do Artista between 2020 and 2023, and is also co-founder of ZABRA, LDA, where she works in executive production.

She received scholarships in artistic education from Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian and Gestão dos Direitos dos Artistas, and holds a BA in Artistic Studies. She is currently a resident artist at ZABRA – Post-Human Art Research Center.
