Venue: The Place, Robin Howard Dance Theatre 17 Duke's Road, WCIH 9PY
Details: Inspired by a group of Byzantine monasteries in central Greece that lie on top of ancient rock formations as if suspended between sky and earth, 'Meteora' looks at states of transition and suspension as stimuli for movement. Two performers walk, run, pause, dance while finding themselves caught in between moments and spaces. The piece weaves together movement, lighting and music in an attempt to create moving images from ideas of stillness.
Choreography: Chloe Aligianni. Performers: Gaia Cicolani and Chloe Aliyanni. For more information and bookingsplease click here.

Athens - The Truth:
Searching for Manos,
Just Before the Bubble Burst.
Charmed for decades by the music of Oscar-winning Greek composer Mános Hadjidákis,
|
|
David Cade explores Athens as news breaks at the end of 2009 that Greece is in serious financial difficulty. After years in the neighbouring Middle East, the author talks to Athenians, examines many of the city’s most extraordinary attractions, and carefully surveys key aspects of Greece’s modern history.
The result is both a thrilling account of what makes Athens tick and a vivid explanation of why Greece is as it is today. Amazon readers have described the book as ‘absolutely addictive,’ ‘charming, critical, and thought-provoking,’ and that it ‘makes the reader yearn for Athens.’
