Performer, Maker, and Artistic Director of MÓV Dance Theatre

I am a performer and maker with a background in dance-theatre, devised theatre, socially engaged theatre, polyphonic singing, and improvisation. Originally from Greece, I now live in Shipley and work across Bradford, the North of England, Scotland, and internationally. I am the Artistic Director of MÓV Dance Theatre, an interdisciplinary company launching in March 2025.

In addition to my freelance work across the UK, I lecture at Leeds Beckett University and collaborate with a variety of theatre and dance companies. I am an associate artist of SBC Theatre and a company member of Speedwell Dance.

Dance-Theatre: Interdisciplinary and Playful Creations

My work is rooted in play and draws on my diverse background in dance, theatre, and music. I create interdisciplinary performances that blend choreography, live music, and storytelling, focusing on nurturing togetherness and creative expression.

The themes of my work emerge from personal experiences of being a woman, mother, and migrant in the UK, but they expand into universal narratives that spark conversation and connection. Through my performances, I aim to evoke meaningful discussions that engage audiences on multiple levels.

Voice: Exploring the Connection Between Body and Sound

My vocal practice integrates elements of somatic movement and voice work, helping individuals cultivate vocal well-being by engaging the whole body. My ongoing research supports me in creating spaces where the full potential and strength of voices can unfold.

I specialise in traditional polyphonic singing, particularly from Greece and Eastern Europe. In 2016, I founded the Moving Voice Laboratory, a space for actors, dancers, performers, and makers to explore the dynamic relationship between choreography and text. The laboratory has been running successfully since 2016 and has received ongoing support from the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow.

SBC Theatre: Theatre for Social Change

Since 2017, I have been working with Stand and Be Counted (SBC) Theatre, the UK’s first Theatre Company of Sanctuary. My work within the company involves:

  • Facilitating creative spaces that integrate movement, voice, speech, acting, and play.
  • Developing theatre with and for people seeking sanctuary in the UK.
  • Touring professional productions.
  • Offering consultancy on engagement with displaced communities. In 2025, SBC are an associate company of Bradford 2025, offering tailored support for the festival to meaninfuly connect to those seeking sanctuary in Bradford.

Through my work at SBC Theatre, I contribute to the creation of inclusive and meaningful artistic experiences that amplify voices and stories often unheard
