If you are seeking an interdisciplinary horizontal learning-researching-creating setup, this residency is for you. We welcome applications from choreographers, dancers, and individuals from any discipline whose research and practice relate to the residency’s theme.
Where: Paleohori art-space, Neohori, Lefkada, Ionian islands, Greece
When: July 6th – August 10th, 2025
Applications will be reviewed as soon as they are received, and participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all remaining spots are filled
Nestled in the serene beauty of Lefkada Island, this artist-run residency offers a supportive environment for 12-16 participants to delve into the art of dance making.
Kyveli Kouvatsi and Yorgos Sioras Deligiannis will provide gentle facilitation, focusing mostly on practical aspects such as space operation and safety. However, this shared experience of co-living and co-practicing is primarily designed to be self and collectively regulated.
Day-to-day activities can vary from sharing movement practices to collective book readings and movie nights, as well as engaging in creative initiatives, open talks with or without the local community, public interventions, bread making, or hiking to the waterfalls.
We will have daily group circles and take care of the space to maintain its functionality. There will be no requested outcome for the residency, instead, our focus will be on simply being and being together.
If you are interested in decolonised techniques, decentralised dance narratives, choreo and micro activisms, choreographic strategies for reflection, dramaturgical integration of the audience in the reflecting process and more, then this will be the nest for you to deeply explore, evolve and connect with similar thinking individuals and creators.
What We Offer:
-A nurturing environment that encourages creativity, collaboration, and self-reflection for 12-16 participants.
-A diverse community of artists dedicated to exploring the thematic of the residency.
-Opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange and experimentation.
-Accommodation in shared bell tents, harmoniously integrated into the natural landscape, full access to our shared facilities and a spacious open-air studio with a breathtaking view.
-Vegetarian/vegan meals with fresh products.
