DANCE, ACTING, POETRY TOO. (FEW PEOPLE KNOW THIS, BUT YOU are AN EMERGING POET as well!) HOW WOULD YOU choose to DESCRIBE YOURSELF, MORE OF AN ACTOR OR A DANCER OR WHAT?

I’d Probably describe me as someone who doesn’t have a clear idea of what they are, more or less. I think that for me it is all about exploring as many ways to communicate and express myself as possible.

HOW IS TODAY’S LANDSCAPE IN PERFORMATIVE ARTS CHANGING? WHAT needs, IN YOUR OPINION, TO UNDERGO Some sort of RE-EVALUATION?

I wish I had a good answer to that. I don’t think I have much of an opinion about the changes of the landscape in performative arts today. It is such a vast area but In Greece, there is a definitely a need for change. There’s too Many people HOLDING POSITIONS they shouldn’t.

AS OF LATE WE’VE BEEN FEELING COMPELLED TO REFLECT ON TIME AND THE MYSTERIOUS WAYS IN WHICH IT ACTS UPON US. WHAT’S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH “TIME” AND HOW DO YOU FEEL IT AFFECTS YOUR LIFE AND WORK?

”Time” is such an abstract idea. My perception of it and the way it affects me Are Constantly changing. There is no moving forward, no moving back, nowhere to go sometimes. Things might happen because they have already happened. I definitely walk fast, I hate clocks, I like to lose myself but I don’t like to be late.

YOU’VE WORKED IN A FEW GREAT MOVIES AND CINEMA SEEMS TO HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN YOUR HEART. WHAT INTRIGUES YOU ABOUT THE PROCESS OF FILMMAKING? AND WHAT DOES CINEMA MEAN TO YOU AS AN ART FORM NOWADAYS?

Cinema, along with books, HAS BEEN My favorite thing ever since I was a child. I like to escape in this movie world as much as I can. It feels safe there, intimate. Cinema is a very familiar thing to me. I admire and love everything about it. Being on a set is always fun and exciting. Also as an art form, a movie can travel all over the world, so many different people can share some kind of a common experience. Its impact can be huge. I hope I will get the chance to work more in movies and share my passion with all those cinema nerds out there.

DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR DREAMS? DO YOU TAP INTO YOUR UNCONSCIOUS LIFE TO ENHANCE YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF A CHOREOGRAPHY OR A ROLE?

I don’t remember my dreams so much to be honest, but I think that I live in such an intense state of dreaming some times. I tap into my unconscious life or however you want to call it not only for a role or a choreography or poetry but for so many other things. I dream walk so much I am afraid I should be more careful with that other dimension. Sometimes reality becomes harder than it should. On the other hand, I’ve been finding solace and beauty in my dreams and my imagination for as long as I can remember myself. I feel so brave in this world, so free.

WHICH OF the CORE LANDSCAPES, REFERENCES AND ASPECTS OF YOUR PERSONAL MINDSET FEED INTO YOUR ARTISTIC EXPRESSION?

What feeds into my artistic expression are all of my childhood fantasies, music, dancing, films, everything that moves me. I want to be curious as much as possible, I want to know as much as possible, I want to dive into strange situations. I don’t know if I am answering your question, maybe I’m doing it on purpose. Maybe I don’t want to share some of my secrets right now...

HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO REMAIN IMMUNE TO THE RUMORS OF DOOM OUR WORLD IS SURROUNDED BY?

History has proved that doom scenarios are part of our nature. Being scared and fearing that the world will end is something that has existed since our first appearance as a species. Despite that, the earth is still spinning, the world is moving on and humanity will probably survive most of the catastrophes that will come. I don’t waste my time thinking that the world will end one day, I want to make my life as exciting and interesting as possible, so I won’t have to end up feeling one day that I didn’t get the most out of it. These rumors can only distract me from what really matters to me now.

What question would you have liked us to ask you and what would be the answer?

“What is the last dream you remember?” And the answer would be that I saw my self eating rotten food with all sort of insects running down my throat.
