Also, the festival includes the works of the T/C choreographer and dancers Sevim Akpinar and Toya Akpinar. Mafalda Deville led a workshop on Monday morning, 23rd of November at the Dancehouse Lefkosia (10 – 13 hours).
We would like to add that it is the first time that Turkish Cypriot choreographers of contemporary dance participate in such a platform of dance and performing arts. This participation is very important not only for the festival but generally for the performing arts, especially contemporary dance in Cyprus and this particular participation of Sevim Akpinar is adding to the contemporary and innovative spirit of the festival. This participation strengthens the possibilities for communication, cooperation and exchange of ideas and experiences between all the artists on the island and provides the basis for coexistence for a common creative artistic future in Cyprus.
Finally, Mafalda Deville, an important artist of contemporary dance from Portugal, participated also at the parallel events with a 3-hour workshop (Monday, 23rd November, 10:00-13:00).
The festival and the parallel events was supported by many sponsors amongst others, the embassy of Portugal and TE.PA.K. / Department of Fine Arts and all the listed below in our press release.
