The Modern Body platform examines the nature of our current existence through thematic events that curate experiences – physical, visceral, immersive and intimate.
We seek the modern body within the new worlds that emerge when different artforms intersect, collide, and modulate each other.
We focus specifically in the open field that exists between artforms – new media, dance, music, installations, interactive art, performance, theater, architecture, robotics, bio-art, video art.
Visit Modern Body Festival for news, and to see an archive of past events.
Founded, directed and curated by Stelios Manousakis and Stephanie Pan.
