Meet Natasa:
My name is Natasa Georgiou, a graduate of Laine Theatre Arts of London and a holder of an MA in choreography from Middlesex University. I’m an ISTD Fellow and Modern Theatre Dance Examiner, the founder and main choreographer of interact dance co. My works have been awarded at the Cyprus Dance Platform by the Cyprus Ministry of Education and Culture and presented in several EU countries and Canada.
I am a founding member of the Cyprus New Movement of Dance Groups, Dancers, and Choreographers, one of the first members of the Cyprus Dance Association and have served the organizations from several positions for many years. I am also a founding member of Dance House Lemesos and held the position of Executive and Artistic Director from 2010 to 2014. I have served as the project manager for the European Programs, Tracing Roads Across, E-Motional Bodies and Cities, Act Your Age, and Leim.
Currently, I am acting as a member of various committees, appointed by the Cyprus Ministry of Education and Culture for the selection of artistic works for festivals in Cyprus and abroad.
As part of my international work, I have participated as a member of the International Committee for the prequalification of artists for the PLACE PRIZE in London, as a member of the international jury for the Dioraphte Dance Awards, in Maastricht of Holland, a member of the jury for the Spanish Platform, in Madrid of Spain and acted as the Cyprus representative for the selection of works for AEROWAVES.
Throughout my professional career as a dance researcher, programmer, choreographer, and dance educator I have worked with cancer patients, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis patients, quadriplegics, and deaf children as well as with children with learning difficulties due to emotional and psychological traumas.
As an activist, I am the general co-coordinator of Refugees we Care – a volunteer platform that supports Refugees and asylum seekers and a co-organizer of Mothers Rise Up Cyprus, a platform that advocates our right to a healthy living environment and offers information about climate change.
I am the director and principal teacher of moving arts centre where I teach modern theatre dance, contemporary, creative movement, and improvisation, and I am also the co-founder of the unique Teachers toolkit Moving At Home.
I love sharing my knowledge and experiences with my students and other professionals and my vision is to create a platform for sharing best practices, in the field of education and promotion of dance. My mission is to continue developing programs for enhancing creativity and thinking outside the box and contribute to a better and just world!
