ฮ‘ unique artistic residency series that invites a dance artist to conduct research for 3 weeks, in dialogue with a dedicated and curious group of participants.

Symbiotic Danscapes examines choreography through three different lenses:

โซธ Dancer as both a feeling and thinking subject

โซธ Choreography as a decentralized practice for reflection and improvisation

โซธ Dramaturgy that considers the audienceโ€”not by serving it, but by unlocking its political potential for social commentary

In her work, the different processes of experiencing (choreographing, performing, observing) are intewaved in order to release compositional as well as defamiliarization processes of movement that are also related in everyday life and do develop capacities in world-making and self-creation.

Below is a note from Androniki regarding the research she will share during these three weeks.


"As dance artists, I have the faith that through movement and the body we are able to serve impossible ways for communicating with each other, ways that have the potential to redefine our processes as humanity to co live together in ways we may not even have realized yet.

To address that within a dance performance is a political act, an invitation to join with each other outside of stereotypical embodied selves, an act of resistance to communicate outside of the representational structures for the body and for the Dance.

Through the years that I am researching and working as choreographer, I am trying to find ways to allow these processes between me and the dancers to expand viciously and courageously and so in that way to keep alive the โ€œDance on stageโ€ . To allow its experience as something that is beyond us but as well as our common ground.

Through that lens then my invitation to audience members is spread on possible alternative ways in receiving the Dance.

How can we, as dance artists invite them to observe their social embodied self, to relate to the Dance through the bodily intelligences?

How can we provoke, sensitize and activate responses before meaning-making, before neuro-perceptual pathways that may lack new imaginative potentials for a community?

In these 3 weeks residency, I am truly thrilled to share these questions with whoever is related to a choreographerโ€™s, performerโ€™s , audienceโ€™s research through that lens, to play and become curious about what kind of performers, choreographers and audience members we are, to unfold strategies between those and amongst all possible mixed identities by those on how to relate to each other through the Dance.

This research is in relation to my upcoming project in which its main theme is the โ€˜body as a scoreโ€™ and the โ€˜practices of solidarityโ€™.

As its parts and structures of the body in order for us to move freely and effortlessly are creating an ecosystem, in that way we question how can a group of people or a task be related to those practices of solidarity?

Some phrases that may offer you a wealthier insight to the project are: sensoriality and movement , scores by artists from 1960-2025, transformation of physical materiality, practices, solidarity, the physical organ of the heart, observing, observing the self observing, dancing, performing, imagining"
