/ABOUT THE ACADEMY


In the framework of the Moving Europe program of Eleusis 2023 - European Capital of Culture, Aerites Dance Company launches the first Academy of Choreography in Greece, the U(R)TOPIAS Academy of Choreography.

The lack of possibility of a deeper study of choreographic practice in Greece, the need for artists to spend more time in research and the desire to create and experiment freely without necessarily arriving at results, was the trigger to create a program that combines the artistic and educational part, in a form of an Academy of knowledge and creative experience. With this in mind, the main goal of U(R)TOPIAS Academy of Choreography is the collaboration with young professional choreographers interested in cultivating their skills in the field of composition and choreography. Each choreographer is invited to come up with a personal ideal and present it as a work of art. The aim is to showcase the emblematic sites of Eleusis through the site-specific works of the choreographers, creating a new map of the city of Eleusis. Through their participation in the Academy, the artists will be able to develop their compositional skills and shape their own creative approaches, under the guidance of distinguished creators and professionals, art historians, theorists as well as producers.
