With more than 25 years of experience in contemporary dance and theatre, he directed his dance company VIVID.danse in France and made over 20 original dance works including commissioned works for the Lyon Biennale, Geneva Opera Ballet and Phoenix Dance Theatre (UK). He is winner of the Best Choreography Prize at the Kuopio International Festival Choreographic Competition (Finland, 2003).

Since 2008, Isira had developed Dynamic Releasing©, an evolving, innovative, and inclusive training system in contemporary dance, that allows participants of all levels to take control of their own movement journey, developing technical skills quickly by interfacing their innate trajectories with his creative input. The method also supports technically trained dancers and elite athletes of varying backgrounds to be energy efficient in performance, understanding the sensory connection with instinctively used biomechanical pathways.

He has taught this method in South Africa, South Korea, France, Norway, Denmark, England, Portugal, Serbia, the Czech Republic, Argentina and Brazil.

With an MA in TV Journalism and Documentary Film, Isira also makes documentaries and experimental films specialising in intimate storytelling, social conflict and transformation, and drama-inspired narratives. In 2014 he won the British Journalism Training Council Best Documentary Award for his film Shadow of the Bull, a controversial film about a young Spanish bullfighter from an inner city project.

Living in Portugal since 2011, Isira is the Artistic Director of Positivenomad Studio, a centre for movement research located in the Ericeira. Focusing on emerging artists in dance and performance, Positivenomad offers short internships and artistic residencies involving mentoring, creative strategy, and production assistance.
