This is Elise! After almost three weeks here, she has become a great friend, and her work in the space has been amazing! People like Elise remind us of the importance of offering and putting our energy into things the way we imagine them to grow.

Here, a tender moment of her watering these tiny plants captures the essence of patience and care in cultivating a garden. 🌱

Nurturing new life, each drop symbolizes hope and growth. 💦💧

Dear Paleochoritises, Paleochorites 🦔

For those that have visited Paleochori, you don’t need an introduction, yet for our new friends allow us to introduce ourselves; we are Kyveli and Yorgos, two dance artists and educators who dreamed of a wooden piece of land in Lefkada as a place to reconnect with the curious, moving and sensing self. 🐾🍃🏕
Slowly-slowly (as we commonly say here in Greece) since 2021, and with the precious help of our friends and family, we have created a unique nest οn a remote hillside of this busy island. 🪺🦅

“paleo” means old , and “chori” means village. The name serves as a reminder of communal life in relation with nature. In essence, Paleochori is a space dedicated to the moving and sensing human being. A place for questioning corporealities as a practice of acceptance, bridging psychosocial differences, and meeting beyond our skins. A meeting point for embodied approaches and for those who are open and kind enough to encounter themselves through others.

OPEN SPACE 💖✨🍋🪩 This Saturday 20th of August at 17.00 we invite you to our venue to share, dance, witness, talk, drink lemonade and enjoy the closing of the Unplugged Dance 2023 _ main program together! During this second Unplugged Dance week, we are hosting two workshops, In reflection/resonance with Sahra Huby & Quindell Orton, and Regulatory bodies | In plain sight with Giorgos Sioras Deligiannis Both workshops are the result of long personal research of the facilitators, and their practices are related to embodied movement and performance, each one in its own unique way. So, on Saturday we open the space as we would love to introduce you to our world, and spend some time together, where we can all feel free to be part of this process in any way we feel more comfortable. An invitation to observe, move, talk, share, listen, reflect, or just be together !! Here are some information about the facilitators and their work; ✨AWAKING OUR SENSES ~ PRACTICING COLLECTIVE CARE ~ DECENTRALIZING THE BODY IN A WIDER ECOSYSTEM ~ QUEERING NORMATIVITY ~REWRITING PATTERNS ✨ In the past years Anna Konjetzky, Sahra Huby & Quindell Orton have been situating their artistic work and dance practice in five different thematic zones which fluidly overlap and intersect: Sensitizing, queering, rewriting ,caring, and decentralizing. These ideas and topics have been the ground for different dance researches and creations, and during this workshop were explored and translated through movement, using the body as a source of knowledge, sharing and discovering together physicalities and practices for present and future. ✨ AN INVITATION TO REFLECT UPON THE HUMAN BODY AND ITS NATURE THROUGH AND BEYOND IDENTITIES ✨ Giorgos Sioras Deligiannis’ personal artistic research raises questions regarding identity and creates practices that provoke the relation between the public and the private space. "In Plain Sight" is a workshop that invites anyone to reflect upon the h

Can we dance our spirit? Can we practice love? This Saturday 12th of August at 17.00! Open Space and Sharing in Paleochori 🌻Come and join us!

Do you know that feeling when time seems to stop? ✨ Here we have a beautiful capture of that feeling. 🤍Thank you @anniirika for sharing it with us🤍

Witnessing the sunrise and welcoming the day with open hearts at Paleochori 🌄🌿🍃 Wish everyone a wonderful day ✨

In the rush of the days we almost forgot to share this! Neochori is such a wonderful village, with a very active cultural association named Melanyndros! Two days ago we enjoyed a beautiful evening fest dedicated to Epirotic polyphonic song. The moments captured was from the closure of the event, when singers joined us, and invited all of us to sing with them a polyphonic song. ✨💫🌟

Do you wonder how is Paleochori during early spring?🪻🌷 🌱 That is a video from yesterday, with our seasonal waterfall, just 50 meters from our dance platform. 💦 During winter Ionian Islands are known for the heavy rain -which explains their lush greenery- and when rain comes new seasonal rivers and streams appear. This one next to us is called "Kako lagadi" which means bad valley.

🎶🎵 we suggest to use headphones to enjoy this short sound clip from today early morning with a light rain, here in paleochori 🌱💦 How does it sounds the waking nature? How does it feels, being a waking nature? How does it feels to be one with the nature? How does it feels to be awake? What a practice...
