KYMA Festival 2019:

In the framework of this year’s programme including 4 seminars and 3 performances, the two-day KYMA Festival 2019 aims to build a wide experience for participants and viewers who will be able, not only to become familiar with contemporary dance creations, but also to activate their instincts and their interpretative skills while they set their senses throughout the space they are in.

Ensuring high-quality educational content and reinforcing the creative potential of the city of Athens with significant artistic stimuli is one of the key issues addressed in this year’s KYMA Festival 2019.

KYMA Festival 2018:

On May 4, 2018, the first Kyma Festival, dedicated to inclusive dance, was held in the crowded Theater of Athens School of Fine Arts, aiming to open the field of art for all social groups.

With great persistence and passion, about 30 people from 3 countries worked to make our first festival happen. Overcoming difficulties and creating opportunities we designed a dance festival in an accessible space with accessible content for everyone.

The turn out was amazing! More than 170 spectators with and without disabilities filled the theater and watched with excitement the two performances by the mixed-abled dance groups tanzbar_bremen, Compagnie DK-BEL and Exis.
