Fluxum Foundation and Flux Laboratory Athens collaborated with Neopost Foofwa Company presenting the project DANCEWALK in Greece. A Greek - Swiss artistic initiative under the aegis of the Embassy of Switzerland in Greece and the City of Athens.
On Thursday 5 November 2020 the performance “Dancewalk – Retroperspectives” was presented at Technopolis City of Athens with parallel live streaming. On stage, a dancers narrated the history of 700km of Dancewalk that have been run around the entire world. Dancewalk is a practice developed by choreographer and dancer Foofwa d'Imobilité. Until today 50 versions of Dancewalk have been presented worldwide.
In Greece, the choreographer transmited this dance technique to 7 Greek dancers who will act as the Greek ambassadors of the Dancewalk project. This experience was integrated on scene on the 5th of November.
On Sunday the 8th of November, the official day of the Athens Marathon, Dancewalk was presented as an alternative. We invited our audience to dance symbolically, creating its own choreography wherever they stand.
