Ivana Müller is a choreographer, artist and author of texts. Through her choreographic and theatre works, performances, installations, text works, video-lectures, audio pieces, guided tours and web-works she re-thinks the politics of spectacle and spectacular, re-visits the place of imaginary and imagination, questions the notion of « participation », investigates the idea of value and its representation, and keeps on getting inspired by the relationship between performer and spectator.

In her pieces she often creates states of “possible” inviting the spectators to collectively or individually engage in the experience of imagining, and in such a way re-invent that “possible” over and over again. Although she creates through various forms, theatre remains the principle context in which she develops and presents her work.

Her pieces – amongst others How Heavy Are My Thoughts (2003), Under My Skin (2005), While We Were Holding It Together (2006), Playing Ensemble Again And Again (2008), Working Titles (2010), 60 Minutes of Opportunism (2010), Partituur (2011), In Common (2012), We Are Still Watching (2012), Positions (2013), Edges (2016), Conversations Out of Place (2017) – have been produced and presented at some of the major theatre festivals and venues in Europe, USA and Asia. Her work has been occasionally presented in visual art contexts.

Ivana Müller was born in Zagreb and grew up in Croatia and in Amsterdam. She lives in Paris and works internationally.

Christos Papadopoulos studied dance and choreography in SNDO (School for New Dance Development) in Amsterdam (2003), theatre in the National Theatre of Greece and Political Sciences in Panteion University (2000). He is a graduate of the Drama School of the National Theater of Greece (GNT Drama School, 1999).

His previous choreographies ELVEDON, OPUS, ION and LARSEN C are critically acclaimed and have been presented at numerous international festivals. They are often described as minimalist and precise and are fed by an intensely observant approach to movement, which unfolds a lively and meditative power. ELVEDON was the first choice of the Pan-European network Aerowaves 16 Dance Across Europe and was later presented with equal success in Paris (Théâtre de la Ville and La Briqueterie), in Amsterdam and other European stages. OPUS – another work of distinction – was chosen by Aerowaves 18, while March 2018 marks the beginning of its international tour.
