João Pedro Coelho Ribeiro

Where are you from? (Hometown)

Florianópolis, Brasil

Major/Minor

Music and Theater

What are you most excited to learn and to do while abroad in Scotland & England?

I’m most excited to get to be in person at structures and places that have existed for centuries, and get to learn about Shakespeare’s works in its birthplace.

If you could travel back in time, where and when would you like to go? and why?

To a post-performance party me and my friends from the theater company I was a part of back home a few years ago. It was just a good time with great people.

What is your favorite Shakespeare play or character or Shakespeare-inspired film?

Probably Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I love mischievous, unfiltered characters that cause chaos wherever they go, especially since they often are interpreted very differently from actor to actor and are just so fun to watch on stage!

What is your favorite way to express yourself creatively?

I love singing and composing in my free time. There’s something about sound that really intrigues me, and exploring how each frequency interacts with each other so that you can express a feeling, a memory, a story or anything that you can name is, to me, quite fascinating and fun to navigate.
