Belinda Papavasiliou is an artist and movement practitioner based in Cyprus. She creates performance works, installations, experimental dance films, curates sensory walks and facilitates open practice sessions and workshops. She also works as a performer, choreographer and movement director collaborating with various artists, cultural collectives and organisations in Cyprus and beyond. Her artistic practice is informed by eco somatics, practicing and working in outdoor environments in all weathers, dance and somatic practices, hiking, bodies coming together (human or other) and notions of time, materiality, reciprocity, and attunement. Belinda’s multidisciplinary approach to creation, often extends the choreographic to other mediums beyond dancing and humans in motion. Creating chaotic relations with body and sites, objects and materials she attempts to activate the sensorial realm and to create environments that can host ephemeral communities and collective participation in co-imagining radical actions and futures.
