Poet Charles Wright characteristically notes, “All landscapes are autobiographical.” In “LANDSCAPE,” Elena Antoniou treats her body as a landscape.
In his notes to the performer, dramaturge Odysseas I. Konstantinou writes: “You stick your butt out, you deliver your most erotic moves, you breathe, you get tired. And you are being seen and observed. And you want to be seen. And you want to be observed. And you expose yourself. And you have asked to be exposed. And that’s how you give what you got, your body, primarily as something sexual. You have conceived this performance and you are going through it. You think you are the one completing it, but you are not.”
Indeed, the gaze of each viewer/observer and, respectively, the proximity or distance from which they choose to observe the body/spectacle of Elena Antoniou are the elements that complete the work. She unapologetically offers herself towards the disclosure of personal experience as a collective landscape. She joyously overexposes the female body and challenges the outer limits of spectacle by skillfully inviting and provoking the viewer’s gaze. She instigates the space for
the political body to present itself as deeply traumatized but also unabashedly sexual.

Elena Antoniou has graduated with honors from the Greek National School of Dance and the London Contemporary Dance School "The Place" as a member of the Edge dance company. She was a
scholarship recipient from the Koula Pratsika Foundation and the Danceweb Programme at ImpulsTanz Vienna. She has presented her work in Athens, Berlin, and Tel Aviv and has collaborated with significant organizations, such as the Onassis Stegi, the Marina Abramovic Institute (MAI), NEON Organization for Culture & Development, and the Athens and Epidaurus Festival. Since 2021, she collaborates as a performer with the internationally renowned choreographer Maria Hassabi. In addition, she has also collaborated as a choreographer and movement director with theater directors and companies in Greece and Cyprus. She received the Choreography Award of the Cyprus Theater Awards for the play “Diary of a Madman” (Theatrical Organization of Cyprus), and she has been nominated for the same award in 2011 for the play “Beckettx5” by theater group Solo for Three.

The creation and production of MIKE is a commitment to highlighting the idea that without trust in ourselves and in others, it is impossible to safely live public lives that reflect our interior lives. We are sure to stagnate in a state of half-life and disharmony… gridlocked in the endless traffic of not knowing how to respect or even truly recognize the other. WE MUST LEARN HOW TO TRUST THE OTHER. We must first trust OUR «TRUE» SELVES in order to do this work.

Dana Michel is a live artist. Her works interact with the expanded fields of improvisation, choreography, sculpture, comedy, hip-hop, cinematography, techno, poetry, psychology, dub and social commentary to create a centrifuge of experience.
Before graduating from the BFA program in Contemporary Dance at Concordia University in her late twenties, Michel was a marketing executive, and a competitive runner and football player.
In 2014, she was awarded the newly created ImPulsTanz Award (Vienna) in recognition for outstanding artistic accomplishments, and was highlighted among notable female choreographers of the year by the New- York Times. In 2017, Michel was awarded the Silver Lion for Innovation in Dance at the Venice Biennale. In 2018, she became the first ever dance artist in residence at the National Arts Centre, Canada. In 2019, she was awarded the ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art (Kuopio, Finland). In 2022, the Canada Council for The Arts awarded her the Jacqueline-Lemieux prize in recognition of her contribution to dance in Canada.

ANAHIT - the relationship between sediment and residue, geographies inscribed in the body, looking at vibration as a method.
Linking the research begun with Գիշեր | gisher to the work of re-narration of somatic geographies that has been conducted for years in the context of Pleasure Body, Giorgia designs with ANAHIT a solo for their own body, a constellation, a format that oscillates between language, movement and soundscape. ANAHIT is the Armenian divinity that protects water and all fluid beings.

Giorgia Ohanesian Nardin is an Italian artist of Armenian descent working in the contexts of dance and live performance.
Trained in dance, their work exists in the shape of movement video text choreography sound gatherings and deals with the relationship between dancing, divination and writing; with geography and the opposite of belonging; with a fetish for language, its politics and its many frictions. They began making work in 2010 in collaboration with artists Marco D’Agostin and Francesca Foscarini, with whom they founded Associazione Culturale VAN (2014).
Since 2018, Giorgia periodically holds Pleasure Body, a space for facilitating practices and conversations associated with pleasure and rest, questioning the narrations around labors of care and hosting critical thinking around words like well-being, health, healing, recovery.
As an independent writer and poet, Giorgia’s work has been included in L’Ano Solare - a year long programme of sex and self display (axis axis editions), curated by Il Colorificio.
They hold an ongoing writing/thinking practice with London - based artist Jamila Johnson-Small, with whom they have curated several events that focus on holding/facilitating/questioning space as/for subaltern subjectivities in institutional contexts. Their work is produced and supported by, amongst others: Associazione Culturale VAN, VIERNULVIER, Centrale Fies Art Work Space, AtelierSi, BASE Milano, Lavanderia a Vapore, Milano Mediterranea ميلانو المتوسّطيةّ.
