7th No_Body Festival

Dance Gate Lefkosia is very happy to announce the 7th edition of the NO_ BODY Dance/ Movement & Performance Arts Festival (21 – 23 November 2015, Dancehouse Lefkosia) which is under the auspices of the Mayor of Nicosia, Constantinos Yiorkadjis.

The 7th No_ Body organized by Dance Gate Lefkosia and co organized by Dancehouse Lefkosia includes new works by 7 Cyprus dance & performance artists and a performance from Portuguese artist Mafalda Deville. The programme includes artists: Konstantina Skalionta (cheoreographer) and Dyphaine Deluap (performer)/ Panayiotis Tofi (choreographer) and George Kolias (voice recordings)/ Eva Korae (visual artist- performer) and Constantina Peter (Dramaturge) in collaboration with Eleana Alexandrou/ Nektarios Rodosthenous (musician) in collaboration with Vicky Kalla (performer) and Lea Maleni (Dramaturg)/ Aneesha Michael (choreographer) and Dimitris Spyrou (musician)/ Athina Georgiou (choreographer) in collaboration with Marios Konstantinou (performer), Elli Konstantinou (performer) and Anna Tsiarta (video). Also, the festival includes the works of the T/C choreographer and dancers Sevim Akpinar and Toya Akpinar. Mafalda Deville will be giving a workshop on Monday morning, 23rd of November at the Dancehouse Lefkosia (10 – 13 hours).

We would like to add that it is the first time that Turkish Cypriot choreographers of contemporary dance participate in such a platform of dance and performing arts. This participation is very important not only for the festival but generally for the performing arts, especially contemporary dance in Cyprus and this particular participation of Sevim Akpinar is adding to the contemporary and innovative spirit of the festival. This participation strengthens the possibilities for communication, cooperation and exchange of ideas and experiences between all the artists on the island and provides the basis for coexistence for a common creative artistic future in Cyprus.

Finally, Mafalda Deville, an important artist of contemporary dance from Portugal, participates also at the parallel events with a 3-hour workshop (Monday, 23rd November, 10:00-13:00).

This year, the festival and the parallel events are supported by many sponsors amongst others, the embassy of Portugal and TE.PA.K. / Department of Fine Arts and all the listed below in our press release.
