Wrong Movement (Lathos Kinisi) Dance Co.

Lathos Kinisi (Wrong Movement) Dance Co. was founded by the Greek choreographer Konstantin Mihos and dancer Titi Antonopoulou in Athens, Greece in 1988.

During the last 21 years more than 80 dancers, musicians and visual artists have participated in the productions of the company, which is being responsible for the introduction of New Dance techniques, Contact improvisation, Disability dance to the Greek dance scene.

The company not only has performed in Greece, but also abroad (Marseilles I990: Biennale for Young Artists from Mediterranean countries, Germany 1995/2000, Sweden 1998).

Collaborators
The company has the policy to invite well known American or European dance makers to collaboration, such as
Sara Rudner, (‘‘One good Turn’’, commissioned by the Kalamata International Festival 1996),
Wendy Perron, (‘‘Don’t close your eyes’’ 1997),

Benno Voorham, (‘‘The battles of Marathon’’ 2007, ‘‘Without stigma’’ 2005, ‘‘Interrogation’’ 2004, ,‘‘First residence’’ 2003, ‘‘Empty man’’ 2000, ‘‘Don’t close your eyes’’, 1997, ‘‘What the girls say in between them’’ 1993,)
Riccardo Morrison, ( ‘‘Audition Bachae" 2010-11, ‘‘Terminator series’’ 2004-2007, ‘‘Without stigma’’ 2005, ‘‘Interrogation’’ 2004, ,‘‘First residence’’ 2003, ‘‘Empty man’’ 2000)
Bo Ronnow Andersen, (‘‘The battles of Marathon’’ 2007, ‘‘Without stigma’’ 2005,
Kurt Koegel, (‘‘Don’t close your eyes’’, 1997)
Norbert Servos in co-production with the Goethe Institute (‘‘Black and White’’, 1998),
Ray Chang (‘‘Trisha hasn’t left home’’, commissioned by the Athens Megaron 1999) etc.

Since 2003, the dance company sustained, on a regular basis, an international crew of dancers and has been performing outdoors, presenting pieces in places with ambivalent historical significance such as:
‘‘First residence’’ 2003, in deserted houses of refugees ,

‘‘Interrogation’’ 2004 in ex-prison cells of World War II German occupation forces,
‘‘Without stigma’’ 2005 in Sotiria Hospital for lung diseases.

‘‘Harta’’ 2008 in Athens War Museum.

In 2005, by launching its own dance studio a new project, "Contact Point 102", started.

This project is constituted by a program of dance classes, taught by Konstantin Mihos and other members of the company, to children of political refugee parents. Their ages are ranging between 10 – 16 years old and the lessons are offered free of charge.

The aim is to explore how dance can be taught to children, from non western European countries, respecting the balance between their own - culture and the culture of their new "arrival country".
The first results of this project can be seen in the company's last production ‘‘The Battles Of Marathon’’ performed with 30 children coming from Greek origin or from countries like Turkey, Kurdistan, Iran, Palestine, Nigeria, Chechnya etc. The piece has already been presented at the ''2nd Greek Dance Platform'' at the Opera House of Athens and at ''Inside-out'' international conference on minorities and refugees and integration educational policies organized by British Council. The full length production was presented, after invitation by The Athens International Festival in July 2007.

Disability dance
In 1996 disability dance was presented in Greece through workshops , educational programs and performances. As a result of the disability teaching programs, in 1999 the first disabled dancers became members of the dance company. Most noted, Irene Kourouvani, has launched a professional career as a dancer and teacher. Many disabled dancers found their own way to the stage. Newcomer Cynthia Nikolaou emerged as the first spastic quadriplegic dancer.
