Symbiotic Danscapes is a 1-month hybrid programme (22 June – 19 July 2026)—part research residency, part workshop—inviting three guest artists to openly share their choreographic, performative, and movement-based research with a dedicated group of participants.
For four weeks, in the sloping forest of Paleohori (Neohori, Lefkada Island, Greece), the three facilitators will bring forward questions emerging from their personal practice, to be explored collectively through movement, dialogue, and shared experience.
Participants select one facilitator to primarily work with, while also having access to selected sessions of the other two. The three practices intersect throughout the month, creating a dynamic and interwoven environment for artistic inquiry.
Symbiotic Danscapes centers around questions such as:
- What if choreography served the dancing body’s complexities rather than shaping it?
- What if audience participation were not only presence or engagement but a political gesture?
- What if dance were not something to be consumed, but an act of being, becoming, and encountering?
They are seeking an artist who has:
- An ongoing artistic/research practice in dance, performance, somatics, or movement
- Experience in participatory facilitation, participatory choreographic environments
- A genuine curiosity for co-inquiry, relational work, collective exploration, and somatic approaches
- Interest in spectatorship as a relational and embodied encounter
The facilitator needs to facilitate 38 hours of research + workshop sessions with a mixed group of participants (max. 3 hours/day, Monday–Friday) and participate 6 hours in total of Critical Circles.
