FORGIVENESS

Facilitator Emily Berry (US)

Avaton Theatre, Athens, Greece

We all have stories, histories & experiences that are valuable resources for the communities we live and engage with. This was a community project in which I participated by sharing personal stories and performing in final sharing. The process was about interogating our understandings of forgivenes, in relation to ourselves and the others. This is part of a wider project which is taking place all around the world.

DAY OUT OF TIME

Facilitator Vitoria Kotsalou (GR)

Public Space, during Akropoditi Dance Festival 2015

Syros Island, Cyclades, Greece

Choosing a spot in a public place, I remained there from sunrise to sunset, dedicating the day to being in a state of dance. This process was about opening my senses, feeling the poetry both around and inside me.

This practice, explored the three levels of perception: personal, social & ecological, which are connected through dance.

The responses from the people who were passing by were just amazing !

A RIDICULOUS DREAM

Director John Britton (GB)

Art Factory, Athens, Greece

A ensemle physical theater performance, based on Dostoyevsky’s book ‘The dream of a ridiculous Man’. This work was the final outcome of the Duende school of Ensemble Physical Theater. In this production I performed as part of an international cast of 19 female performers. This piece was a combination of improvisations and fixed material devised by the ensemble.
