Georgia Kapodistria (CY / DE) was born on October 17, 1990 in Athens, Greece and moved soon after with her family to Nicosia, Cyprus where she grew up. From her early years she attended Ballet classes, following the english RAD and the russian Vaganova system.

She started her undergraduate academic education at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Germany, under the leadership of Lutz Förster and Malou Airaudo. Her studies there, allowed her to get a deep insight of the german Tanzteater tradition and coloured her artistic development at an early stage. Georgia’s academic journey continued with a postgraduate diploma in Dance Partnership from the Danish National School of Performing Arts. During her postgraduate studies, she developed skills on realising artistic practice-based research projects and defined her focus and interest in facilitation. The final thesis gathered her focus around the connection of the notion of decolonization with a facilitation practice, and formed a direction for her ongoing work.

Georgia lives and works at the moment from her base in Nykøbing Sjælland, Denmark. Her work as a freelance dance artist is informed by her focus on allowing for the roles of the performer, choreographer and facilitator to coexist and inspire her work on equal terms.
