About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!

My EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND includes studies in DANCE and ARCHITECTURE. I am interested in integrating the field of dance into that of architecture and the opposite, by setting spatial parameters into movement-creation processes or by using movement as a tool/parameter for spatial composition. For this combination, photography and video are used as basic tools of observation, analysis and re-composition. The production of photos and video material, via the above mentioned procedure, can lead into diagrammatic analysis of a specific phenomenon under observation, into a kind of made-for-the-occasion notation system that could disseminate information to the public. Until now I have WORKED as a dance teacher and performer in my home town, Thessaloniki. I have participated in many workshops in Greece and abroad related to applied arts, architecture, dance and choreography. I have created various pieces of work during my three years dance course. One of them was presented (Nylon2 -Νάυλον2 ) in 1/6/2010 at contACT#3- Cross My Art Festival in Thessaloniki. I have taken part in performances and Projects in Thessaloniki and Berlin. The MAIN TOPICS which strike my interest more are: movement + space, light + movement, light + space, choreography+ it's context, choreography + media, projections in performance, body based space approach, notation systems and compositional procedures. I tried to examine ACADEMICALLY my interest on the interrelation between dance and architecture through my thesis and diploma project which were necessary for the completion of my studies in architecture. My thesis was about Pina Bausch's “Café Muller”. It was an approach which indicates how the rhythm of the action, the choreographic structures and the use of space in relation with the furniture and the bodies, which are in constant movement, are traced and commented through diagrammatic analysis based on space and time. In my diploma project, “Fields of movement”, the compositional procedure was based on human body’s movement. More specifically, walking, the basic way for someone to change position in space, was observed and altered as for its stable rhythm of repetition through the creation of a topography of various sequential inclinations. The morphology has been studied through physical and three - dimensional models as well as in 1:1 scale, taking into consideration the attributes of walking and the possibility of space creation through movement and its trace. The research phase was embodied in the composition of a space consisted of successive sequential sections that are placed one next to the other. ARCHITECTURE AND CHOREOGRAPHY have lots of things to share as both of them belong to the fields of thought and practice. It's interesting how compositional procedures from one field can be applied on the other and vice versa.
