“Did the rain dances ever cause any rain?”

This dance performance is a lonely attempt to connect with memory, community and hope in a world that drowns in individualism, productivity and hopelessness. It’s an ecstatic dance that wanders between plastic garbage, emergencies, dreams, glitter, hangovers, concrete buildings, memories, deep darkness, sea waves, social movements, herbs, words, candies, cigarettes and a human body stumbling on threads and searching for meanings.

Duration: 30΄

La Soirée
Collective Spine

Dance performance

Three Greek women in Luxembourg in the 90s-00s meet at a soiree. They socialize and dance by their warm fireplace. But there is neither a fireplace, nor Central European wealth, nor the affluence of the 90s-00s, nor are we our parents. So, what’s going on?
“La Soirée” is a dance performance, based on one hand on a movement research in Greek traditional dances tsifteteli and zeimbekiko, through a contemporary dance filter, on the other hand in the conditions of social gathering – party – entertainment.

Project: RANGE

The color palette of today’s composers is no longer limited to the classical range of musical instruments. All sounds can become music. In his music, Egid Joechl often works with sounds from the environment and nature and combines them with traditional instruments. During his residency in Akropoditi Dance and Performing Arts Centre in Syros, the composer tried to capture some of these sounds and use them in his new music piece.
The presentation will be held in English.

Les Willis* | Act 2

Starting from the musical piece “Fort-Schreiten” by Egid Joechl, the performance focuses on the theme of self-determination of the individual both in relation to other individuals but also in terms of contemporary social conditions. Are we really free to follow the paths we choose? Does the (co)existence of the individual within a broader collective allow for self-definition? Can we resist the flow of the masses in modern society, even in a utopian state where love appears to guide; how much freedom can be accommodated in the expanse of free existence?

The performance, borrowing elements from the world of fashion, a field that acts mainly with following trends and imposing standards, looks at the existence of a person through various master-and-slave relationships, obedience and disobedience, love and hate.

* Les Wilis, female creatures from the underworld, return every now and then for one night only, to restore balance against those who were restricted, wronged, oppressed.

Dance and movement research workshop by Stali Symeon

Free submission

Απαραίτητη δήλωση συμμετοχής: έως το Σάββατο 07 Δεκεμβρίου
Δευτέρα-Παρασκευή 16:00-21:00 και Σάββατο 11:00-13:00, τηλέφωνο: 22810-80690

Dance and movement research workshop

The workshop starts with a score of movement improvisation in an atmospheric soundscape. Through this soundscape-score the participants are guided in a half-hour physical, imaginative and mental warm-up in a “ritual” that combines elements from somatic practices and from collective rituals that contain dance (concerts, celebrations, etc.), it focuses on relaxing the neck and cultivates a different perception of space, gravity and the body. At the same time, it cultivates relationships of collectivity and community in the group, while giving space to each one individually. Finally, in combination with the sound atmosphere, it activates imagination and memory.
Then with a series of movement and verbal tools, exercises and games the participants will explore the state of trance. Repetitive movements, rhythm, trust, “letting go” will be the main axes of the workshop.
Overall, the workshop invites participants to seek and practice those moments of flow and balance between individual and group, inner grounding and openness to the world.

      Voice in Movement | from Soma to Ensemble

      Releasing the Voice & Circles of Polyphonic Improvisation with Anna Luna Louvari

      A workshop for releasing the voice through movement and touch, and for creating polyphony in the moment

      Releasing the Voice
      An exploration of how movement and physical touch liberate breath and sound, how they reveal new possibilities in the voice’s range, volume and qualities, and mostly, how they allow us to connect with what wants to be expressed and let the voice to give it form through improvisation.
      We’ll work individually and in pairs.

      Circles of Polyphonic Improvisation
      We cultivate the ability to listen, to tune in as an ensemble and create music in the moment, by working tools like the drone notes (ison), the creation of four-voices soundscapeς with the gradual addition of rhythmic and melodic patterns, and the moment of the solo- when the ensemble creates a harmonized base for one voice to step upon and improvise.
      We’ll work as a group.

      Fee: 55 euro
      * For Akropoditi Dance & Performing Arts Centre’s students, university students, unemployment: 50 euro
      Duration: 7 hours

      The workshop is a combination of the different approaches she has trained in and discoveries from her own practice, brought together by the need to share the magic that happens when one allows to be guided by their voice and body, as well as the power of many different voices joining each other harmonically into the song of the moment.
      Εxcerpts from the workshop: https://youtu.be/eZs5AxHCq_I?si=o2eZAtebVcPLOZPK

      Anna Luna Louvari
      Anna Luna Louvari studied contemporary dance (preparatory year in the State School of Dance, 1st BA year in Trinity Laban Conservatoire for Music and Dance) and then, searching for studies that combined both movement and voice exploration, she moved towards pbysical theatre and started training with teachers such as Rosa Prodromou, Alexandra Kazazou, Julianna Bloodgood, Rafal Habel, among others, while then she graduated from BA in Acting in Dilos Theatre School (2020). Continuing this work, the release of the voice through movement became her emphasis, so she started training with teachers of the Roy Hart Centre such as Ulrik Barfod, Edda Hegg, Walli Hoffinger among others, and then she graduated from the one year course “Voice in Artistic Expression” at the Centre Artistique International Roy Hart (2024) As it comes to singing, she begun to love it as a member of choirs and later on trained individually with Dinah Stieringer, Evangelia Karakatsani and others. She has worked in theatre and with children (play based teaching and musical – movement play in groups), and since 2022 she is giving workshops on releasing the voice and polyphonic improvisation.

        Safety is a concept that has been heard frequently in recent years, especially in therapeutic areas. To be safe, to be careful, to protect our space.
        Does the use of this word, however, in some cases begin to reach the limits of fear and overprotection, bringing us to a position of defense?
        What if we replaced security with trust?
        Feeling trusting instead of feeling safe?
        In this seminar we will explore these concepts on the basis of the Muladhara chakra, our foundation, in a combination of yoga practice and drama therapy.
        The purpose is to engage with these concepts physically, emotionally and mentally, through a creative encounter with self and others.
        No previous experience is needed, just an appetite for exploration.

        May we meet!

        Emiliana Tsoukala 
        Emiliana got in touch with yoga in 2009, alongside her dancing. The reason yoga eventually won her heart, and she chose to follow it, is the respect with which it treats the body, the connection of breath and movement, the simplicity and depth involved in it, as opposed to the Western way of approaching it. of exercise. Later he understood that yoga is a way of life proposition, a philosophy that has deeply studied human nature and offered answers to many human questions.
        Her desire to explore the path of yoga in greater depth and specifically her love for the full flow of Vinyasa, led her to attend the 200 hour RYT training program of EYS with teacher Panos Katsandris. She then trained in pregnancy yoga and is currently completing her 500 hour training. She continues to be interested in continuing education on yoga and therefore attends various seminars on it.
        At the same time, he was trained in Dramatherapy, a method of psychotherapy with art as a tool, and through the marriage of these, he has a dream to offer a holistic way of treatment, thus contributing to man’s search for self-awareness and self-healing.
