work|
First attempted full-scale directing in May 2017, with a mini-film inspired by Ionesco's "Rhinoceros", which was later adapted into a 45' show of the play. The latter also took place in the annual festival of the "Theatre of Changes" (September 2017), winning as "Best Performance" amongst three other prizes. Following that, on February 2018, I was hired as a stand-in coach & company director by "Theatrodini Theatre Group", a team composed of 33 actors. There, directed a version of Vassily Sigarev's "Plasticine", for three completely different stages that required three different adaptations: an Italian-type classical stage ("Apollon" Theatre, Syros Island), a large-studio theatre ("Embros" Theatre, Athens) and a non-theatrical building with a small black-box ("Kostis Palamas" Building, Athens), in which the show was transcribed into a promenade/immersive performance (take your look at the "PORTFOLIO" section).
|In the office stuff, started off as an Office Assistant and Personal Assistant to the Artistic Director of the Municipal Theatre of Piraeus (Nikos Diamandis). Before that, I was Assistant Director at Katerina Evangelatos' Goethe's "Faust". Resident Assistant Director for "Argo" Theatre (2017-2018) (Shakespeare's "Hamlet" Directed by: Lazaros Georkakopoulos, Jean Genet's "The Tightrope Walker" Directed by: Zoe Mandas and Lot Vekemans's "Poison", Directed by Roula Pateraki). 2nd Assistant Director for "Kefallinias" Theatre (Lia Vitali's "Roastbeef" Directed by: Chrysa Kapsouli). Performed in Konstadinos Rigos' "Romeo and Juliet" and Kostas Gakis' "Wondrous Tongues of the World". I was also a 2nd Choreographer's Assistant to choreographer Valia Papachristou, for Charles Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" opera, at the Greek National Opera / Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC).
