Angelos Papadopoulos

Angelos Papadopoulos (he/him, they/them) is a dancer and movement director based in Athens.

His works have been presented at cultural institutions and platforms such as Art Athina (Zappeion Megaron), the Athens Conservatory, Flux Laboratory, Arc for Dance Festival, Tanzahoi International Dance & Dance Film Festival (Audience Award), and Act International Festival (Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Residency Award). For the past two years, his dance company has been funded by the Ministry of Culture. He has taught choreography seminars at the Department of Performing and Digital Arts (University of Peloponnese) and Moragemou Professional Dance School.

He is an ARTWORKS fellow of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the U(r)topias Choreography Academy in the context of Eleusis, European Capital of Culture. A graduate of the MRes Choreography & Performance program at the Roehampton University (2022), his practice orbits around the idea of the event — a concept drawn from physics, performance art, and philosophy — as a rupture, a meeting point. Rooted in dance yet resisting fixed forms, Angelos’ works leave space for chance and the uncanny to emerge — inviting what is raw, intimate, and unplanned to participate in the unfolding. His aesthetic often balances precision and imperfection, clarity and strangeness, humor and stillness.

Since 2022, he has been working as a personal trainer, and this year he completed his training as a Pilates instructor under the guidance of Michael King.
