Polyxeni Angelidou studied architecture and dance in Greece. Since 2012 Polyxeni has based herself in Berlin where she works as a choreographer, performer and dance teacher. With a scholarship from the Scholarships’ Institution (IKY), Greece, Polyxeni undertook a Masters of Choreography the Inter-University Center for Dance (HZT-Berlin).
In recent years Polyxeni has focused on creating her own pieces [Co- , LANDing, Cut and Pasted, U, Nylon3] and alongside a number of creative collaborations and projects. Taking an interdisciplinary approach she is inspired to work not only in formal theatrical spaces but to also engage site-specific installations and interventions and video. People who live in urban context, the structures and conflicts that emerge from that environment and the way that they affect humans individually, socially, physically or virtually, comprise subjects of investigation in Polyxeni’s practice.
She has collaborated with the set designers Shahrzad Rahmani and Cecilia Tselepidi for the walk-in installation Paper-traced(2014) that was created for Bauhaus Tanzen in Dessau. As a choreographer she has collaborated the theater director Christopher–Fares Köhler for Finnisch(2015) at Theaterdiscounter-Berlin and Deportation Cast(2016) at the State Theater of Oberhausen and with Kanaltheater in Eberswalde for the piece Anatomie eines Aufstands – Kohlhaas(2017), directed by Heike Scharpff. She has also worked as assistant director with Matthaei and Konsorten for the project Veschwrörung der Idioten(2016) at Sophiensaele in Berlin.
Her work has been presented in Germany, Italy and Greece. Together with the set designer Cristina Lelli she received the Nachwuchsförderung from the Goethe Institut for a tour of the piece LANDing in Abruzzo – Italien.<br />
