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 five 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.

She 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

I am an interdisciplinary artist experimenting with body movement, film, theatre, poetry, intuitive writing, meditation and meditative dance. My background is in theatre studies, classical music and singing, and Isadora Duncan dance technique. Through yoga practice, butoh and indigenous dances, I later found a vast field of sound and body experimentation, exploring the primitive, conceptual sounds and freedom of movement within a meditative state of artistic expression. My vision is to bring Theatre and the Arts back to nature, discovering new dynamics and a sense of rebirth. I believe in the soul and its limitless horizons. I believe in the non - at - all - perfect Human and our potential for true love and compassion. What always moves me is the desire to resist brutal insanity and an endless hope that people will someday feel their power.
