Symbiotic Danscapes ◦ Research Workshop

New dates for the 2026 edition will be announced soon…

What if…

⋗ Choreography can listen to the dancer rather than serve them or use them?

⋗ The dancing body is the center of decision-making and scores reflect the dancer rather than the other way around?

⋗ The audience’s participation is more than just presence or even active engagement, but a political statement that truly mattered?

⋗ Dance was not something to be consumed, but an act of being, becoming, and encountering?

What is Symbiotic Danscapes?

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.

Registration will open soon…
