SITz
2010 - 2012
Interwiev on chez TV
LeCool Magazine:
Stop for a moment to think what would happen if you were out having dinner
when you suddenly leant over, grabbed your knife and fork like screwdrivers
and stuffed them into your mouth as you twisted your neck through 90 degrees.
You´d almost certainly be marched away in a straightjacket,
but this is exactly the kind of madness we always beg for on stage.
Choreographer Angela Lamprianidou has clearly thought long and hard
about conventions and the ways in which the body can tear them down.
Pure dance still has a lot of life left in it and pieces like Sitz are living proof.
Its experimental solo and group moves eschew the grotesque (which also has a place,
but not here) in favour of intelligent humour (and spectators´ knowing smiles).
Francisco Estrada from LeCool:
Interesantísimo si en una importante cena se te ocurriera encorvarte,
agarrar los cubiertos como si fueran destornilladores y llevarte los trozos
a la boca mientras tuerces el cuello 90 grados. De seguro que saldrías con una
camisa de fuerza de tu cita, pero, sobre los escenarios, son esta clase de “locuras”
las que siempre pedimos. Para ello, el coreógrafo ha tenido que pensar mucho sobre
las convenciones y las posibilidades que el cuerpo le ofrece para destruirlas.
Y, con ello, diseñar en el espacio y el tiempo.
La danza pura tiene para rato y trabajos como Sitz, de Angela Lamprianidou,
nos lo demuestran con movimientos individuales y colectivos con espíritu experimental,
aunque evitando lo grotesco (que también mola, pero no es el caso)
y priorizando el humor (pero el inteligente; el de las veladas sonrisas cómplices).
Sara Blaylock from thehiddenpeople.com:
I saw an exciting and inventive dance entitled ´SITz´ on Thursday, April 29.
This work, which fuzzed the line between performance art and contemporary dance,
featured three dancers,enacting the learning of movement.
Angela Lamprianidou´s choreography channeled a proto-human,or perhaps
post-human,world,where upright movement was an unlearned or forgotten skill.
They stumbled to stand,combined their bodies to caterpillar walk,
and at times moved like high functioning robots.
Though abstract and unconventional,the movements were,for the most part,articulate and
skillfully executed by SITz´s dancers Julia Koch,Mireia de Querol and Lamprianidou.
The dance was reinforced by a textured soundscape,composed by
P.Rose and C.Galle of Institut Fátima,which moved from a subtle static
to literally banging beats to an over-the-top loud waltz.
Emma Haro:
Domingo lluvioso en esta atípica primavera barcelonesa. En el Mercat de les flors se
estrena SITz el último espectáculo de la coreógrafa y bailarina griega Angela Lamprianidou...
Alihop
2011
Paul Rose:
Once again Angela Lamprianidou, the greek-catalan-german artist surprise
us with her new performance Alihop. She mixes up political tendencies,
sociology of the genders and postmodern flows of the performance-art.
While the times are characterized by surprising revolutions,
failed wars and ideoligical confusions,
the dancetheater of Angela Lamprianidou offers a space of
conceptualistic reflection to the public,
which invites, to get to know the inner forces which sticks all together
Alihop offers an original exploration of our centuries-old passage
through movement - walking, riding, driving or flying.

Quim Pujol, en su faceta de crítico con peluca acaba de decir sobre
el trabajo de Angela Lamprianidou, otra performer casera,
que se trata de una de las experiencias escénicas más especiales
que he vivido en los últimos años.

Tongue
2008
Teatre ovidi montllor en barcelona/Institut del theatre
Aleix Vidaldi:
Three different languages,finnish,greek,czech.Choreographies which
were representing the rhythm of this very personal tongues.
An interactive piece with the audience what was full of humor,irony
and just the dance language unit those three excellent dancers,who were
feeling like if they would be talking,dancing,playing at home,on stage.
El cuerpo del otro
2006/7
Barcelona
Iris Schabert:
An excellent composition which was intelligently based on the mixture
of medical explanation with emotional landscapes.While a voice from
the off commented on reactions of the bodies on stage,the audience were
alternating between sympathetic involvement and rational distance, which
enabled them to experience their own bodies at the same time.
Roger Bernat:
Sehr sehr gut

Antonio P.Collom:
As the word,so the show.Two dancers in strong positions. One weak,one strong. Changing
of emotions in a very abstract way.A game with light and shadow over hypocrisy
Agusti Ros:
I left this performance and I was happy to have lived,shared moments of communication
Loop
2005
Roberto F.Serafide:
Loop,by A.Lamprianidou,is a half ironic and half ritual choreographic
cameo about symbolic meaning (but also the symbol´s impoverishment)
in circle-based dance.The author achieves this result by composing
a ´solo on spot´,where outbalanced ´release´ figures alternate with
a self-conscious useof what we´ll call an ´hysterical slapstick´.
And all that on a mesmeric,deliberately non-musical score,which
according to the title,suggests the repetitiveness of all emotional,
kinetic, conceptual ´event´ deferring to the rhetoric of birth,
dissolution,rebirth.In order to express her ambivalence towards that
concept (a mixture of religious wisdom and satyrical skepticism)
Lamprianidou ´selects´ as the dance´s totem,a butterfly shaped
buckle,situated at the very crossroad of postmodern camp and
mythical reference,ideally persisting on stage when already
the dance and its interpreter have left.

Erlanger Nachrichten:
Even the toilets have been designed by A.Lamprianidou, a
fantasy world with a fantastic result.Angela says that we have
the best feelings on the toilet,which is why she chose to design
this artistic surrounding and give it more art-s(h)it.
