Director Biography - Alkistis Voulgari

Alkistis Voulgari was born in Athens, Greece. She is an actress and dancer, specialising in the dance technique of Isadora Duncan.

For the last three years she has been experimenting with her own film and performance creations, incorporating theatre, poetry, literature, dance and radio art.

Her work has been presented internationally.

Alkistis is gradually visualising and working on the reconnection of theatre with its natural roots through improvisation and exploration of the primitive idea in an open natural space where the film camera becomes the 'director's eye' and an eternal narrative of theatrical, performative, human and life experience.

Director Statement

Poetry N' Motion is a form of expression that takes me back to the roots of cinematic art and theatre. Ophelia, as a symbol of innocence and pure love, is always one of the most inspiring themes for a creator to explore, as these two qualities are what humanity is lacking today.
