Symbiotic Danscapes ◦ Research Workshop

Symbiotic Danscapes is a unique artist residency series that examines choreography through three different lenses: Dancer as both a feeling and thinking subject Choreography as a decentralized practice for reflection and improvisation Dramaturgy that considers the audience—not by serving it, but by unlocking its political potential for social commentary A new hybrid program that invites one guest artist to conduct and share their research, in dialogue with a dedicated and curious group of participants. Over the course of three weeks, in the sloping forest of Paleohori, the guest artist will bring specific questions emerging from their personal practice to be explored collectively. Together, the group will engage in a process of co-inquiry, exploring scores, inventing rituals, sharing meals, and allowing time to shape their discoveries. This series of research workshops seeks to reclaim time as a privilege: to unlearn and rethink the ways we create dance, to acknowledge and highlight our interconnectedness and to reimagine spectatorship beyond presentation, through dances shaped by encounters. To remember why dance was important to us in the first place.
