Lívia Maria Delgado is a dancer and actress living in Berlin since 2015. She graduated in Classical and Contemporary Dance from the Conservatory of Dance of São Paulo and trained in Performing Arts at SENAC São Paulo. In Berlin, she further trained as a Script Supervisor at iSFF, an experience that expanded her practice towards audiovisual work and visual storytelling.

Since 2020, she has been developing Baderna, an ongoing artistic research exploring migration, identity and encounters across cultures. Supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste in 2023, the research has since unfolded into different branches and collaborations. One of these developed through the Raíz, an artistic residency with the Kalipety Indigenous community in Parelheiros, São Paulo, in April 2025, and is currently being shaped into a short film in collaboration with videographer Caio de Siervi Barcellos.

Most recently, Lívia collaborated with Mari Paula as researcher and assistant director on Lake Machine, a Goethe-Institut–supported project that premiered in Cantabria in September 2025. In March 2026, she performed and collaborated in the creation of Pirarucu, directed by Clébio Oliveira and developed with the collective Nós. She also took part in the Onsite, site-specific artistic residency led by Po:era, where she continued expanding her research through new collaborations.

Alongside her artistic practice, Lívia works as a dance teacher, fitness instructor and movement director. She is also part of the volunteer team at Strassenfeger e.V. in Berlin.
