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 is offering 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).

After that, Antigone Gyra will travel to Zurich, Switzerland for a two-day workshop at the Greek-speaking theatre group, Terrasse Ensemble, and whoever else wants to step in, where she will try out in a mixed group many of the proposed practical applications.

Movement for all

27-28/9/25, 12.30-18.00

Metzenthin, Saal A, Freiestrasse 56, 8032, Zurich, Switzerland 

A workshop for people with or without experience in dance and movement. It will begin with exercises and games to strengthen the body and the group, and will then explore how everyday movement is a source of choreographic creation. Through this practice, we will see our everyday lives through different eyes and at the same time develop our relationship with the composition and evolution of the kinetic material that our bodies create on their own or in relation to other bodies.

Reserve a place before September 10 at terrasse.ensemble@gmail.com or at 0792760698.

Cost for the 2 days:
160 francs (general public)
140 francs (members and friends of Terrasse Ensemble)

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.
