Joana Craveiro is a performer, playwright, theatre and cinema director, anthropologist and artistic director of Teatro do Vestido, a theatre company founded in 2001. She holds a PhD from Roehampton University with a PAR thesis on the transmission of political memory of the Portuguese Dictatorship (1926-1974) and Revolution (1974-75) through performance. The results of her research on memory and her oral history projects are presented as performance-lectures, that she has been delivering worldwide since 2012. She holds a Master in Theatre Directing by the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and a BA Hons in Anthropology by Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCSH), as well as a BA in Acting by Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema . Her creative methods are strongly rooted in ethnographic practices and oral history. She is the head of the Theatre Course at Escola Superior de Artes e Design (ESAD.CR), in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, where she is Adjunct Professor, and is associated researcher at the Institute of Contemporary History (IHC/NOVA), in Portugal. She is part of the European playwrighting network Fabula Mundi, http://www.fabulamundi.eu/en/joana-craveiro/. In 2023 Craveiro was awarded a Fulbright Research Scholar Grant to pursue her research at Clement A. Price Institute, at Rutgers University, Newark, USA. Joana Craveiro develops a cross-disciplinary work and research, blurring boundaries between the academic and the artistic. She has published several articles and chapters in books, as well as plays and non-academic texts. Recently, she directed a feature documentary film about the memories of women in the Portuguese dictatorship and revolution, "Women were there too", for which she received the Special Mention Award at the Olhares do Mediterrâneo Women's Film Festival.
