Three Times Three #8

Three musicians and three dancers meet on stage without rehearsal and without a predetermined framework. At the beginning of the evening, three random pairs are formed and improvise for 15 minutes each; the evening ends with a collective improvisation lasting 30 minutes.

The eighth edition of the “Three Times Three” series features Myrto Petrochilou, Vasiliki Bega and Kostas Phoenix, with a common axis of physical expression through dance and performing arts. Myrto combines contemporary circus, dance and visual arts with a focus on aerial movement; Vasiliki is active in contemporary dance and improvisation, teaching both children and adults; Kostas draws inspiration from myths, traditions and fictional narratives, collaborating with groups in Greece and abroad.

On the music side, three musicians with a diverse background in composition, improvisation and music education participate: Orestis Tsichlakis (oud), who combines eastern music, improvisation and artistic intervention in hospital structures; Michalis Katachanas (viola), who moves between jazz, contemporary, Greek traditional and classical music; and the composer and musician Spyros Polychronopoulos (electronics), who is also the curator of this series of performances.
