“Dave De Rose presents…” #5

Multi-instrumentalist Dave De Rose continues his artistic residency at KET, creating a new encounter each time where music and movement converse through improvisation. For the fifth session, he invites musician and sound artist Sofia Zafeiriou, drummer and sound experimenter Giorgos Stavridis, dancer Io Katsimicha and dancer Nikos Grigoriadis.

As in previous versions of “Dave De Rose presents”, the meeting is based on the participants’ ability to respond to the present by creating a shared time and space.

Dave De Rose, with collaborations that include Moloko, Mulatu Astatke, Rokia Traoré and Mark Ronson, is the creator of the experimental project Agile Experiments, which has been recognised by the British Library as part of the UK’s sound and cultural heritage.

Sofia Zafeiriou investigates the connection between sound and the environment, combining acoustic instruments, electronic media and field recordings. She has performed, apart from Greece, in Nantes, Diyarbakir, Tirana, Beirut, Slemani, Berlin and Cyprus.

Giorgos Stavridis, a member of Trigger Happy, the duo BLIP and the Centre for Research and Rescue of Music Radio (ΚεΔιΜουΡα), experiments with percussion, installations and improvisational structures.

Io Katsimicha, with a Greek and international career, has participated in works by Olia Dramitinou, Jeremiah Day and Katerina Gevetzi. Her personal works (Diadromes, Ceci n’est pas une Crise, Even Cowgirls get the Feels, Trata) have been presented in Greece and abroad.

Nikos Grigoriadis has collaborated with Antonis Foniadakis, Anastasia Valsamaki, Konstantinos Rigos and Katerina Evaggelatou, and has also participated in the Tanzbiennale of Heidelberg.
