Christos Papadopoulos

Born in 1982 in a small village in the Peloponnese (Greece), Christos Papadopoulos studied dance and choreography at SNDO (School for New Dance Development) in Amsterdam, theatre at the National Theatre of Greece Drama School (GNT Drama School) and political science at Panteion University (2000). His unique choreographic style is characterized by a highly developed visual dimension, a particularly close relationship between body and space or movement and music, and the importance of the choral group.

Nature never ceases to invent a profusion of forms, movements, and structures, the observation of which is a source of inspiration. Fascinated by the creativity of natural processes, Greek choreographer Christos Papadopoulos has devised an organic dance that transforms how bodies interact and organize themselves - broadening our perception of how they relate to each other. Drawing on the simple movements of the human body, he develops trance-like experiences, involving all the senses in a multi-dimensional aesthetic immersion.

Since 2003, he has taught movement and improvisation at the Athens Conservatory Drama School. After working as a choreographer assisting various directors, his first works in 2016 and 2017 quickly earned him national and international recognition.
