Intimate Bodies – Kinitiras Ω (Omega)

Greece

This Summer Kinitiras Ω (Omega) company returns to Syros Island for the 10th Akropoditi Dance Festival in July. The company is going to re-create the site-specific performance “Intimate Bodies” that will be presented in Athens earlier this summer, co-ordinated by Antigone Gyra and Ioanna Kampylafka, A performance of movement and speech that deals with the concept of intimacy and re-familiarization of body and public space, opening the dialogue regarding social visibility of older people and their bodies. At the same time the performance will work as an intervention to the public space of the centre of Ermoupolis where Kinitiras Ω (Omega) will transform into an intimate place.
This act aims to contribute to the creative growth of humanity in which moving and dancing expression could lead the way to freedom. That kind of freedom deriving from people who have bodies that love, recognize and take care of. Bodies that are open to new ideas no matter their date of birth.
In order to continue the “conversation” between Kinitiras Ω (Omega) and Syros’s island residents, a repertoire workshop will take place, during which participants will join the performance. In this workshop the participants will have the opportunity to put themselves in the procedure of physical and spiritual preparation in order to be able to transform their intimate bodies to performance bodies.
