Centro/SP cap
Ana Dupas conheceu a Eutonia em 2011 quando iniciou práticas individuais com Luciana Gandolfo, após ter sido diagnosticada com uma hérnia de disco na coluna lombar. Em 2018 concluiu a formação pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Eutonia. Durante o período da formação, viveu uma gestação, trabalho de parto e maternidade. Escreveu a monografia "Dinâmica tônica na maternidade" a partir da atenção e tensões relativas ao processo da maternidade. A Eutonia, e mais especificamente o tema "pele", proposto por Gerda Alexander, vem atravessando seu trabalho no campo das artes. Atualmente aprofunda pesquisa sobre o toque, políticas do corpo e hapticalidade, como artista residente convidada pelo The Social Justice Institute (GRSJ) na Universidade de British Columbia no Canadá.
