Late Night Impro
"Late Night Impro" is a project about a series of improvisational performances of dance. The idea was through simple rules and stractures, agreed only in words, literally, to create dance performance live in front of the audience. The preparation time, concerning the movements, the lights, the music and the costumes, lasts a week. Each performance consists of the host, Nadi Gogoulou and one or more guests, who are fellow dancers. The invited dancers are people that Nadi and them have worked together plenty of times or people that Nadi and them know each other but they have never worked together or at least they are not familiar artistically. The performances happen every Friday for a specific period of time that we set and tend to start late at night, usually 10:30pm.
Special enrolledment for the project was its participation of the vol.3 edition at "The Performance Shop", a project of Lia Charaki, at The Athens and Epidaurus Festival 2018.
