Christos Papadopoulos

Christos Papadopoulos studied dance and choreography at SNDO (School for New Dance Development) in Amsterdam, theater at the Drama School of Greece’s National Theater, and Political Sciences in Athens. He is a founding member of the dance group “The Lion and the Wolf.”

His first works, "OPUS" and "ELVEDON", were met with great acclaim when presented at the Porta Theater in Greece. "ELVEDON" was the first choice of Aerowaves ’16 and was later presented in Paris, Amsterdam, and other European cities. "OPUS" was chosen by Aerowaves ’18, and soon after began its international tour. “ION” (2018), commissioned by Onassis Stegi and coproduced by Théâtre de la Ville, Paris, and Le Lieu Unique, Nantes, continues to tour successfully. "LARSEN C" (2021), an international coproduction, has already been presented to more than 25 venues and festivals across Europe. In 2023, he created the work "MELLOWING" for the prestigious dance company Dance On and, later on, "MYCELIUM" for the Lyon Opera Ballet and the Biennale de la Danse Lyon. These works are touring worldwide.

Christos Papadopoulos has choreographed the performances of numerous directors in Greece and has taught movement and improvisation at the Drama School of the Athens Conservatoire since 2003.
