Co-Topia II was part of the WOW exhibition organized by the Architects Association of Thessaloniki. The performance came as a result of a field study of the structural, functional and aesthetic aspects of the space aiming to map landscapes of coexistence and enrich the physical experience of urban every day life. The concept was to allow the community get familiarized and embody the public space through an experiential approach suggesting new ways to use and interplay with that. The choreographic composition was based on structured improvisation with interactive elements and movement study of “unexpected events” and the temporal and spatial interrelationships of performing bodies.
