From 41.52 € /h

Basic Art materials and drawings/painting knowledge are essential for your beginning in the art industry. As soon as you start to develop more skills better prepared you will be for your future career. My path as an artist, graphic designer, and art tutor started when I was in primary school. I have a solid background in Fine art and graduate Master in Art teaching back in 2013. I believe that everyone needs support and practice in their early stage of education outside of the classroom. This course will give you the most important information, skills, and knowledge that you need to clarify further steps in your Art and design career.

Extra information

In the beginning, the class starts with basic art knowledge of drawing, painting, shapes, colors, and materials. You need a sketchbook or any size of white paper and pencils. For the further steps, we will need more materials including paints and brushes.

CircadianBodies is a Movement Practice blending contemporary Dance and Capoeira within the context of neuroscience and health of the contemporary body.

A few words about me

I am a dancer & educator with a background in release technique, Capoeira and somatic practices. My work blends improvisation, rhythm, and humour, shaped by both my artistic and scientific backgrounds—I hold a Master of Pharmacy from kings_college_london alongside a professional dance degree form @horohronos Athens and an MA from @theplacelondon. This intersection fuels my exploration of physical intelligence, emotional awareness, spatial connection.

My choreographic work bridges disciplines, from NOSTOS: Migrating Bodies, Migrating Dances, merging Capoeira, Greek traditional dance, and VR, to 'Circadian Bodies', my evolving practice on biological rhythms and sensory movement, now taught at chisenhaledance Dance. I've researched with ferus.animi.terra.nova, bageorgeilias at Dance Athens and farofa_capoeira at Corpo Fechado. I have choreographed projects like 'Khaki Versus Colours’, Pessoas and NOSTOS, exploring socio-political themes through movement.

I’m passionate about making movement accessible—whether in performance, teaching, or community work!
