WILD is a dance intensive and co-living program taking place at Paleohori Eco-Art Space in Lefkada, Greece.

Designed for dancers and movement practitioners, the program invites participants to rethink technique and training beyond competition and productivity, approaching dance technique as a language of care, a process of unlearning, and a collective practice of embodiment.

Participants train 6 hours daily within an environment of shared living, artistic exchange and reflective dialogue.

The program includes 84 hours of workshops and practices led by two international facilitators:

Rafaela Sahyoun
The Body The Player The Journey – exploring improvisation, sensorial awareness and experiential anatomy through practices such as Sensorial Shape-Shift and The Pulsing Anatomy.

Penelope Morout
Sculpting Body-Images – an intensely physical movement practice combining improvisation, architectural thinking and cinematic tools to explore adaptability, stamina and movement storytelling.

Beyond training, WILD cultivates a supportive community through co-living, shared meals and collective reflection.
