Thenia Antoniadou

Reading the landscape, 2024

Thenia Antoniadou is a dance artist and educator based in Athens. Her practice moves between choreography, visual arts and socially engaged processes. She holds a Professional Dance Diploma (Rallou Manou School), a BA in Early Childhood Education (University of Athens), and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Visual Arts and Landscape at the University of Western Macedonia.

Her current artistic research, Land(e)scapes, explores the relationship between landscape and body, with a focus on post-industrial and mining areas. The project has produced the solo work Shifting Grounds (2024), the videoart Terra Nera, and the site-specific performance Mine the Body (Sifnos, Cyclades, 2024), and includes community workshops in Western Macedonia. Part of this research is funded by the Greek Ministry of Culture.

She has collaborated with Creo Dance Company since 2014, performing and researching internationally (France, Ireland, Denmark, Portugal), and is a founding member of Underscore, a collective running the independent art space M54 in Athens.

Her work often involves site-based practices, community engagement, and interdisciplinary research linking movement, territory, and memory.
