After completing a BA in Theatre Studies (First, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) and a Diploma in Acting (Drama School of the Odeion Athinon), I worked as an assistant director, drama educator and performer in Greece. In 2006, I came to London to complete a Dance Diploma (Birkbeck), an MA Performance Making (Distinction), and a Practice Based PhD in movement for theatre titled ‘Towards a practice of Attunement: An Incorporation of Elements from Song of the Goat Theatre and Contact Improvisation’ (Goldsmiths, University of London, funded by the State Scholarship Foundation of Greece - IKY and the A.G. Leventis Foundation).
The multidisciplinary nature of my studies has defined my creative practice, constantly challenging the boundaries between disciplines and media. I’m keenly interested in the intersections between arts and health, the politics of the body, the co-existence of human and non-human communities and the empowerment of women.
I thoroughly enjoy engaging in long-standing projects as I value slow-emerging and research-oriented processes. Feminism, eco-somatics, surrealism, ritual and phenomenology are major fields of inspiration turning my work into a palimpsest of real, inner, remembered, felt and visually layered spaces of encounter.
As a performer, I have enjoyed working for/with an eclectic mix of theatre, dance and performance artists (e.g. Song of the Goat Theatre, Angela Woodhouse, Theatre Lab, Athletes of the Heart Lab, Jia-Yu Corti, aswespeakproject, Alex Crowe, Nesreen Nabil Hussein) and have performed in theatres, studios, galleries, abandoned hotels, warehouses, houses and outdoors.
