Mothers - ZITA / Iris Karayan

Artistic programme

“Two female performers on a wooden brick platform, leaving no visible signs of what could become a defined point in space, they develop a high precision, circular movement sequence that runs through the whole piece…“Mothers” tells stories of construction: two women play with space, inventing work through minimal structures of action, memory and potency.” (Myrto Katsiki) 
Iris Karayan studied dance at the Greek State School of Dance and completed an MA in Performance and Culture (Goldsmiths College) in the UK. She is the founding member and choreographer of ZITA Dance Company (2002). Her works have been presented in Greece (Athens and Thessaloniki), Romania (Bucharest ), England (London), Poland, Serbia, France (Pau), Italy (Bologna), Switzerland (Zurich). She currently teaches choreography at the Greek State School of Dance.
