The workshop Physical Alertness, created by Fenia Chatzakou and Csenger Szabó, is a dynamic fusion of contemporary dance, improvisation, soft acrobatics, and situational games with partners. Through structured exploration, we will investigate the body’s structural-functional dimension, emphasising skill-building while honouring individual expression. Participants will learn unique movement material with a focus on grounding, elasticity, and musicality. The workshop is designed to enhance participants’ physical awareness and creative potential and to sharpen their physical tools, allowing to dance with ease, complexity, and full presence.
Fenia Chatzakou holds a BA (Hons) in Dance Education (University of Bath) and a BA in Pedagogical Studies (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki). In 2018-2019, she was a member of the touring company Bodhi Project (SEAD), collaborating with choreographers Guy Nader & Maria , Francesco Scavetta, Jose Agudo, and Lisi Estaras.
