Here is a character portrait of one of Brisbane’s most accomplished figures in the Performing Arts and Latin Dance. A dancer, choreographer and Capoeira Master, Tarcisio emigrated from Brazil to Australia in the 1980s. His relaxed gaze here imbues this portrait with a calm assuredness derived from his very grounded personality. For those who know him, his personality comes to the fore in this portrait.
