Marianna is a Master of Performance from the Place graduate and aPharmacy graduate from King’s College London, a Professional
dancer from Horohornos Dance University in Athens, Greece. She currently performs at the BEE of Marina Abramovic and conducts PhD research at UAL. Apart from this,
this is an active Capoeira instructor for the past 4 years, teaching the art of Capoeira to
refugee kids in NGOs in Greece. Having spent several years studying different aspects of
dance (classical ballet, release, acrobatics, circus, contact improvisation, Born2play, fighting
monkey) and somatic practices, she now realizes that dance is a lifestyle that includes active
learning which is energized through the use of space, time and emotional intelligence.
During her UK career, she took part in Big Dance Festival of Akram Khan under the direction
of Jose Agudo and in Greece in the performances of Contemporary Dance Festival at Rouf
with Ilias Bageorge, and various performances and dance videos of the same choreographer.
In her travels and practice around the world she likes to dwell in the relationship of public
space and the dancer, in the connection with live musicians through improvisation, trying to
expand the reasons that form our need for movement. Apart from dance, her passions are
also percussion drumming, painting, and creative writing, which has always been her partner
through these discoveries, throughout her writing group ‘Ringing Pockets’.
