Fouli StylianidouWhispers

Have you ever wondered whether you ever forced yourself to stay tied up on things or situations only because it was easier for you to handle? Αlthough deep inside, you knew it was not? Have you ever found the strength to let go, to say “no” and leave? How many times have you concealed your thoughts while facing an unfair situation? Or how many times did you clench your fist to control yourself? Perhaps you have not had the courage to speak or react? 

I believe, deep inside us, we all know the road to happiness. But many of us act against our own instincts, fearing the social consequences, which are so powerful that make us wonder whether we did make those decisions consciously. 

Fouli Stylianidou was born in Limassol. In 2005 she joined Egribiancodanza Dance Company in Italy with a scholarship and then she was admitted to the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (S.E.A.D.) in Austria. In 2009/10 she joined the SEAD dance group ‘bodhi project’ where she worked with choreographers Roberto Olivan (Spain), Milli Bitterli (Austria), Keren Levi (Israel), Matej Kezjar (Slovenia) and Oleg Solimenko (Russia). In 2010/11, she worked as a dance instructor at the Or University Institute MozartDeum and taught Pilates at the SEAD dance academy in Austria. She took part in the Contemporary Dance Platform in Cyprus with: Over-Under (2011), Inertia (2013), Jodeli Jodeli Doo (2014) and Look at Me (2016). In 2012 she danced at the “Big Dance Festival” in London (Siobhan Kerry) and in Re.Cycle.Dance by Loizos Constantinou in Cyprus. Since 2014 she has been working with the contemporary dance group Asomates Dynameis with choreographer Machi Demetriadou Lindahl for the following productions: A lost moment, Wonderful World, Gate, Antigone, Body Tracers and Iketides. She also danced The Red Hour, a project organised by the European Capital of Culture Pafos2017 by choreographer Alexander Michael in collaboration with the Black Box Dance Company from Denmark and choreographer Melody Putu.
