Fora etc. is now rehearsing for its next choreographic project. At the same its artistic director has been partisipating in discussions about the future of Greek contemporary dance and giving lectures on her choreographic work, thus promoting the company’s contact with the audience and the artistic community. She is also giving seminars in dance practise.
Also Medie Megas is at present trying to establish a cooperative of Greek choreographers, in an attempt to deal with the general stand still in the artistic field and the intense problems of funds raising in Greece. In a country where artists are not used to collaborating in any way, this is a difficult undertaking but hopefully possible…
Fora etc. regards dance as an open field that can incorporate a multitude of means of expression, not easily categorized under other art forms. Also, it regards art as a medium of social awareness and civil action.
Both the founders of the company Manolis Andriotakis and Medie Megas consistently write articles in various cultural publications, in which they reflect on social and cultural phenomena. They wish to incorporate this frame of thought into their artistic practice, which is aimed to have a definite social content.
Fora etc. considers collaboration and mobility within various (Medieterranean, European, Worldwide) contexts as a necessary condition in order for the Greek artistic scene to revitalise itself. The company throught its varied actions and especially through Medie Mega’s position as member of the board of DBM (Danse Bassin Mediterranee), intends to promote this practise.
