It is a substance that never lies, a matter in constant transformation, persisting in its existence through its borrowed nature. In this workshop, the body is approached not as something owned but as an eternally unborn possibility that shifts according to the moment, the role, or the story.<br \/>\nThrough Butoh techniques, we explore the concept of time: how the past and future converge into the \u201chere and now,\u201d how the body becomes a vessel of the \u201celsewhere and otherwhen,\u201d transcending age and stereotypes. We will work with undulating breath, the dialogue between flesh and bones, and rhythms that defy the extremes of the minimal and the maximal, the tragic and the comic.<br \/>\nOur goal is to free the body from its limits and create a timeless space of expression where age and distinctions dissolve, leaving room for transformation, beauty, and trust. Through organic warm-ups, dynamic stances, improvisation exercises, and Butoh techniques, the workshop culminates in a collective performance, a mirror of the timeless essence of existence.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>OPEN PRESENTATION<\/strong><br \/>\nWe invite you to the open presentation of the workshop \u201cThe Timeless Body \u2013 Transformations in Time, Space, and Matter\u201d by Vicky Filippa and Alex Mitros on Sunday 20\/07 at 17:30 at Akropoditi Dance and Performing Arts Centre.<br \/>\n(Free entrance)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Level:<\/strong> All<br \/>\n<strong>Ages:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17+<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit:<\/p>\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-provider=\"googledrive\" id=\"arve-googledrive-18lbfhbye7xdoyqiqleihfl54-atpnqt3\" style=\"max-width:400px;\" class=\"arve aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-googledrive-18lbfhbye7xdoyqiqleihfl54-atpnqt3\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/18LBfHByE7XDoYqIQleihFL54-ATPnqT3\/preview\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"225\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/18LBfHByE7XDoYqIQleihFL54-ATPnqT3\/preview\" title=\"\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/akropoditi.com\\\/dancefest\\\/en\\\/events\\\/butoh-vicky-filippa-and-alex-mitros\\\/#arve-googledrive-18lbfhbye7xdoyqiqleihfl54-atpnqt3\",\"type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/drive.google.com\\\/file\\\/d\\\/18LBfHByE7XDoYqIQleihFL54-ATPnqT3\\\/preview\"}<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vicky Filippa<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vicky Filippa, a dancer, choreographer, and teacher of Japanese contemporary Butoh, pioneers radical practices and aesthetics of the genre in Greece while collaborating with international artists.
