Natalia Baka is a dancer/performer and dance teacher based in Athens since 2013. She is an excellent graduate from the Greek National School of Dance and the Physiotherapy Department of the UNIWA. She has collaborated with various choreographers such as Tzeni Argyriou, Iris Karayan, Polina Kremasta, Zoi Dimitriou, Eleonora Siarava, Nefeli Gioti etc. She has participated in performances and many workshops and Festivals in Greece and abroad. She is a co-founder of the dance collective team “underscore” whose base is the artistic space “M54” in Athens.
Sofia Zafeiriou is a musician and sound artist born in Naousa and based in Athens, Greece. Part of her research circulates the cross-pollination of lived rhythms and modalities with electronic and stochastic interfaces, noise, improvisation, and acoustic performatives. Her work captures music for ensembles and DIY orchestras, field recordings in nature and in refugee camps, sound that comes from relations of things, sometimes strangely located in the deep. She has performed her work in Diyarbakir, Tirana, Beirut, Suleimaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan, Berlin and Athens.
With a career that has included collaborations with renowned artists like Moloko, Mulatu Astatke, Rokia Traore, and Mark Ronson, among many others, Dave De Rose has spent the past 14 years pursuing underground music projects. He’s a core member of the space-age Gnawa project Electric Jalaba and the Athenian newborn Rave At Your Fictional Borders, as well as the director of Agile Experiments (2018-present). Agile Experiments has been well received by the underground experimental jazz community worldwide, releasing 11 LPs in 5 years. Catching the attention of the British Library’s “Sound Archive” project early on, they requested to have it in their catalog to archive and preserve the music as part of the nation’s audio and cultural heritage. Dave’s own label, DDR Records, boasts 25 independent record releases encompassing anything from ambient, songwriter-funk, free improv, jazz, and electro-acoustic techno.
