Alexandros Anastasiadis

Alexandros (he/him) is a dance artist raised in Greece. Since graduating from the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance in 2017, he has been living in Brussels and working as a performer and dance maker.

As a performer he has participated in five productions by Wim Vandekeybus/Ultima Vez and has also worked for Alexandrer Vantournhout and Julyen Hamilton. Alexandros has also directed dance pieces for educational programmes (State Dance school of Thessaloniki, Fre3 Bodies in Barcelona), works as an artistic coach for dance creations and teaches dance to professionals as well as children and communities.
