Julia Abs is a PhD student and researcher at the Interuniversity Postgraduate Program in Aesthetics and Art History at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, and a guest researcher at the Institut für Angewandte Theaterwissenschaft from the Justus Liebig Universität Gießen, in Germany. Her research interests comprise dance and performance theory, the relation of dance to the visual arts, history and art philosophy, and interdisciplinary processes of academic and artistic research. She works as a choreographer and performer in her own projects and collaborates with artists in Brazil and abroad. She is an initiator of a few projects in São Paulo (Brazil) that shifted venues of the performing arts into art galleries and museum spaces, therefore being part of the so-called international movement Dance in the Museum. Julia worked as a teacher of dance studies and its entanglements with art history in academic and non-academic contexts, applying methodologies grounded theory with practice. Currently she is researching the subjects of choreography, dance writing, body-archive, digital annotation in dance, scores (analogical and digital), and its transmission, documentation, and communication in web-based systems in Germany.
