Dafin Antoniadou is a freelance choreographer, performer, and dancer based in Athens, Greece. She graduated with the highest distinction from the Greek National School of Dance (KSOT) and holds a degree from the Department of Physiotherapy of ATEI Athens. Antoniadou uses the human body, light, and sound as her tools to explore the limits of the human condition. Her work has been described as “cinematic,” “mesmerizing,” and “powerfully symbolic.” Her works are often collaborative. In 2017 she created “Matter,” a choreographic study on the notion of time in collaboration with visual artist Stathis Doganis. Initiating a close collaboration with artist Constantine Skourlis, she choreographed and performed “Fos,” a performance that pays homage to the lost of the ongoing refugee crisis. The work was a highlight of Onassis Stegi Borderline Festival 2018. In 2020 she conceptualized and choreographed “Echoes of an Inner Universe,” a fashion film in collaboration with Tokyo-based fashion atelier DEVOA and its founder Daisuke Nishida. Her latest choreographic work “Vanishing Point” (2020), co-created with choreographer Alexandros Vardaxoglou and artist Constantine Skourlis, premiered at the Onassis New Choreographers Festival 7 and has been selected from the Aerowaves network (2022). As a dancer and performer, she has collaborated with acclaimed directors, choreographers, and artists such as Efi Birba, Yorgos Zois, Christof Migone, Rafika Chawishe, Danae & Dionisios, Jukstapoz, and Jasmin Vardimon.
