AVDP on TouR
To ATHENS VIDEO DANCE PROJECT (AVDP) είναι ένα εγχείρημα το οποίο δημιουργήθηκε το 2010 στην Αθήνα και υλοποιείται από την ΑΜΚΕ BelleVille. Το AVDP προσφέρει ένα πεδίο γόνιμης συνάντησης και συνδιαλλαγής καλλιτεχνών από όλο τον κόσμο, ενισχύοντας όχι μόνο την ορατότητα της τέχνης του videodance, αλλά και την πολυμορφία των νέων μέσων και τεχνολογιών, την παραστατική τέχνη του σύγχρονου χορού και των πολυμεσικών παραστάσεων χορού, την performance και τον κινηματογράφο.
Το AVDP αναπτύσσεται όλο το χρόνο μέσα από πέντε προγράμματα: το ετήσιο AVDP festival – Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Ταινιών και Παραστάσεων Χορού, το AVDP edu – εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα, το AVDP on TouR – περιοδεία έργων videodance, το AVDP in community – δράσεις στην τοπική κοινότητα και το AVDP tv – διαδικτυακές προβολές.

equi- + Latin lux (“light”).
A day in which the durations of light and darkness are equal.
Equilux is a lasting struggle in a continuous motion, between day and night, light and darkness, black and white to keep humanity,
nature and every form of life in balance against any form of inequality.
Muros / Walls
Father and son. Secrets unsaid and unembraced grudges separate them.
A wall that guards silences, withheld tears, glances and shy contact.
The lack of communication.
In spite of it, the desire to embrace everything because they are the same story.

KATAKLIDA ( ΚΑΤΑΚΛΕΙΔΑ )
A group of young people that mirror today’s society come face to face with authority. Authority that seeks to silence their freedom of expression and thus awakening their most extraordinary weapon: their art.

【Reviews】
“Kopitoto” is lighthearted and weird, invoking hidden forest creatures and the life of a wintry Japanese wood itself. It’s the unholy alliance of Willy Wonka and an ‘80s Residents video (without the menace but with 100 times the technical skill). ”
– Los Angeles Times (written by Michael Ordoña, January 8, 2020)
latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2020-01-08/dance-camera-west-film-festival
“Bushy eyebrows, bumpy costumes, a blue-lipped winter spirit and a landscape with lots of snow. The Japanese Kusanagi Sisters, who are inspired by the French film pioneer George Méliès, among others, combine a sense of humor with an eye for detail. Thanks to Cinedans, we can enjoy their short film at home during the first lockdown. Cheerful.”
– Het Parool Amsterdam-based daily newspaper (written by Jacq Algra, December 23, 2021)

Whole
W-hole is a dialogue between a body, music and space through movement.
Playing on the ambiguity of the homophones “whole” and “hole”, it traces out the evanescence of the self and the effort to understand and fulfill one’s self through a journey where the imaginary and the real overlap.
Herbarium – Zielnik
The Polish Dance Theatre was founded in 1973, it is professional and autonomic collective, it’s countenance evolved from the ballet-shaped spectacle forms to contemporary genres: dance theatre, characterized by crossing over genres, as well as technical and stylistic borders, liberating itself from traditional methods of expression, leaning toward interdisciplinarity, pursuing new theatre spaces and improvisation based process of creation.
MATAKI
Until the awakening, the Baju tribe had long forgotten this art, a form of expression that brings solace, togetherness and joy. This call re-unites the tribe as they move to rhythm, passing through space and time, following that one voice that leads them back to their purpose.

This is a pilot project for a series of encounters between Ballet and other dance cultures. This is part of my larger body of work “ballet fantasies” in which I search for alternative forms and identities for ballet through intercultural dance encounters. Inspired by sociology and cultural studies, I call these spaces of encounter and mutual affect “Third culture spaces”. They are a liminal space that emerges from the interaction between the different values, aesthetics and philosophies of the cultures behind the dances.
