Luciana is a director who also acts, dances, and occasionally models. Now calling BC home, she has come from Brazil via NS, and is known to hop between the east and west coasts.

She concluded her MFA in Directing at UBC (2020) with the support of a SSHRC grant, and also holds a Theatre Studies and English degree from Dalhousie (2012).​

 

Luciana joined Neptune Theatre in 2018-19 for the Chrysalis project as a Director, 2b theatre as their emerging artist in residency (2020-22). She was also a board member for Eastern Front Theatre (2021-23). Now back west, she has joined Touchstone’s Emerging Playwright’s Co-hort.

 

Fueled by spite and care, Luciana loves obscure Jacobean and Elizabethan plays, the classics interpreted through movement, and new plays.​

​​

She was the Artistic Director for Taboo Theatre in Halifax (2014-2016): an independent company dedicated to boundary pushing work. She is now heading Maenad's Theatre: a company dedicated on the creation of  inclusive expressionist new works inspired by classical texts.
