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.

In September 2025, a four-day series of workshops, screenings, open discussion circles based on the practice of Antigone Gyra will take place at Technourgeio in Athens (Psaron 63, close to Stathmos Larissis metro station). Professionals and students of professional schools, students of performing arts and any other interested persons come to meet the teaching of movement and dance expression proposed by Antigone.
