Under the notion of meeting -- fundamental precondition of performance practicing and making-- and through the theme of ‘landscape makes identity possible’, Geopoetics Project seeks to examine communal myths of present. By applying performance practices (Grotowski Paratheatre, Anna Halprin) into the natural and historical topographies of Nisyros , the laboratory aims to investigate embodied stories inherently held into the land and to knit creatively an expression of our unfolding selves in ‘here and now’.

Geopeotics Project [12 May - 8 June 2013] is the second performance practice laboratory of a PhD Research in Performance Practice, Drama Department, University of Exeter. The first laboratory took place in Aegina (February – March 2012). The research uses a body-landscape performance practice to investigate contemporary Greek culture.
