Suggestions for creative lessons in movement, dance improvisation and choreographic composition for professionals and amateurs

By Antigone Gyra

The title of the activity derives from an exercise that Antigone has been doing in her groups from 1994 to the present day, which characterizes her as a person, an artist and a teacher.

With the support of The J. F. Costopoulos Foundation, Antigone Gyra will offer free of charge to professionals and amateurs of the performing arts workshops, lectures and screenings based on the methodology of movement that she has developed through her practice and continuous study and training over the last 30 years.

Starting from the village of Zitsa in Ioannina, where Antigone Gyra comes from, she will organize in July 2025 a training workshop for the local community, which consists of professionals and people of different ages with little experience in the field of performing arts.

For 6 days we will explore the possibility of moving and dancing individually and in groups, with and without music, inspired by the environment in which we live. We will celebrate our bodies in all their potential, both visible and invisible, and indulge in the joy of movement, rhythm and dance.
At the end we will share a presentation of short dances we have made together!

When: 13-18/7/2025, 18.30-21.30
It is addressed to people from: all ages 17 to 107 years old, all experiences, all abilities
Free participation with registration until June 30 at info@kinitiras.com or at the KEP of Zitsa (tel. for information 6940576461 / 6941412092)

Throughout the action, Anna Tsichli, dramaturg and a constant scientific collaborator of Kinitiras, will make a record so that in the end, notes and photographic material of what was heard or taught will be published in electronic form.

Inside out and Outside in aspires to contribute to a direction of performing arts teaching that cultivates the group skills of the people involved, emphasizes the need to frame and support vulnerable groups within the arts, and supports non-violent communication and tenderness between people.

Stay tuned for details and registration!
