Performance by the group of motion of Athens and Thessalonica.

•  “The body that delivers and is delivered”

Despite our differences, I exist and we exist in space and time with common roots, sounds, images, our breath, our hearts pulse. As a carrier and expresser of meaning, our bodies surrender the individual and collective history from our birth till today; transmute our truth bridging the then with the now and surrender to the present and the flow of time. Incorporating traditional and contemporary dance and motion techniques we will go through a personal and group course of discovery, learning, impartation, delivery and acceptance in the in-between and the now.
