About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!: Choreographer and dancer Zoi Dimitriou was born in Athens. She graduated from the Greek State School of Dance, received the Onassis Foundation Scholarship to study at Trisha Brown in New York and in 2005 completed with distinction her MA in European Dance Theatre Practice at Trinity Laban in London. She has performed for numerous companies and collaborated with artists such as Kirstie Simson, Yvonne Rainer, Felix Ruckert, Yael Flexer, Melanie Clarke, Henrietta Hale and Siobhan Davies among others.

Based in London she launched her choreographic career and company in 2006. The main focus of the company is the exploration of contemporary artistic expression with the art of dance being the principal medium. This exploration revolves around the negotiation of movement, text, sound, new media, light and set as a prerequisite for the development of a new language for dance and theater.

The choreography is characterised by a pared-down, minimalist style of dance-theatre performance with a devoted attention to detail. Themes running through the work rotate around questions of subjectivity formation, visual identification, presentation-representation, the actualisation of various concepts-treatments of time and the examination of myth and its conqurrent archetypical themes.

Her works have been featured in internationally renowned venues and festivals such as: The Laban Theatre, The Place, ROH2, Arnolfini, BE Festival, The Athens Festival, The Kalamata International Dance Festival, Operaestate Festival Veneto, Scala di Milano, Europe in Motion Festival among others and have brought the choreographer major UK choreography awards like the Robin Howard Foundation Award 2008, the Bonnie Bird Choreography Fund Award 2009, the CfC Award 2010 (Choreography for Children) and the participation in the European Network Aerowaves.

Zoi Dimitriou has received commissions from the Onassis Cultural Centre, the Greek National Ballet Company, the Athens Festival, Sadlers Well’s, Company of Angels, The Laban Theatre, The Place, London Contemporary Dance School, Trinity-Laban, Dance Digital, Shift Company and Focus Company and has been supported by Arts Council England and the Hellenic National Centre of Theatre & Dance.

She teaches at Trinity Laban in London, Impulstanz Festival in Vienna, Marameo in Berlin, Duncan Research Centre for Dance in Athens among others.
