During the workshop we will try to establish a “terrain de jeu”, a zone where everything we can do best or everything we haven’t yet done can find its moment. The idea is to sharpen the decision-making as an instant desire or response to whatever is provided by the situation and by agreeing to a full engagement in our presence or lack of virtuosity and our state of the moment . One could call this situation as improvisation but I prefer the word “freestyle” in order to give more importance to this freedom we seek while moving, which needs to be practiced as a very concrete psychomotor skill. The base of a serious game.

She graduated both from the Law School - University of Athens, and the State School of Dance in Athens.

In her own work, she is interested in developing states of presence sorting out from a constant negotiation between contrasted tasks, fictions and universes, often questioning the relation to ideas as authority and autonomy, communication and censorship. She often makes the music design of her own pieces.
She was awarded with the choreography price Prix Jardin d'Europe, in ImpulsTanz Festival in 2016 for the solo dance piece A kind of fierce, a coproduction of Festival of Athens.
