The Square

Sofia Kondylia is a choreographer, director, performer, workshop leader and architect. Her work expands on the versatile intersections between choreography and architecture, through physical and screendance work since 2015. Motivated by the fact that movement creates space, she uses dance as a dynamic spatiotemporal language to create and reinvent the space, narrating corporeal stories about internal psychic conflict, social interaction, and self-transformation. Her practice-as-research projects, “Architecture + Dance” and “Performing Geometries” have resulted in 13 productions, as well as a series of lectures, artist presentations and workshops, which she has toured internationally through artistic residencies, festivals, and conferences. She has been awarded governmental, as well as private funding, international awards, and an honorary museum exhibition of her work in 2021 in Greece. She holds an MA in Performance Practices (The Netherlands), an MA in Architectural Engineering, and a BA in Dance and Dance Pedagogy (Greece). She currently lives and works in Aberdeen, Scotland.
