GEBB d/intensifying

PICTURE a dance-program where technique is an investigation in anatomy, proprioception, imagination, motivation, availability, and efficiency; a palimpsest of internationally acclaimed methods that are continually updated and refined by their teachers’ associations. Picture a dance-program that embraces agency, supporting mid-career & less experienced dance-artists to bloom in their own pace along each-other. Imagine a year in central Athens, five minutes from the Lycabettus forest hill, on our lovely solid, unfinished, oak-wood floor.

Where: COCHLEA studia, Athens, Greece

When: 22 September 2025 – 12 June 2026
