Named after the vast Antarctic ice sheet which broke away in 2017, Greek choreographer Christos Papadopoulos’ work explores the universal patterns of change and the monumental shifts occurring around the world.

What lies beneath the tip of an iceberg? A form that is constantly shifting and transforming, dissolving into itself. We could ask this of our own bodies too – how much control do we really have over what lies beneath? Landscapes, bodies and sounds evolve and change, just like the ensemble of dancers.

About the contender:

Christos Papadopoulos studied dance and choreography at SNDO (School for New Dance Development) in Amsterdam, theatre at the Drama School of Greece’s National Theatre, and Political Sciences in Athens. He is a founding member of the dance group, Leon and the Wolf and has worked extensively as a dancer, choreographer and movement director for both theatre and dance.
