Vitoria Kotsalou & Stephanos Lentzis

Vitoria Kotsalou and Stephanos Lentzis are self-trained dancers whose shared practice explores movement as a field of relation, perception, and becoming. Their work emerges through sustained processes of dancing together, where choreography becomes a negotiation between different embodied intelligences and ways of being. For them, composition is the frequency of the encounter.

Vitoria is a choreographer, dancer, and educator whose practice investigates movement as an ecology of relations between bodies, environments, and imagination, creating artistic and educational contexts that invite new ways of sensing, learning, and being together. Stephanos is a dancer, performer, passionate athlete, and kung fu practitioner who has participated in several dance productions of the ‘En Dynamei’ ensemble.

Having worked closely together in “Solar” and “The Utopians,” they have developed an intuitive choreographic dialogue where movement becomes a form of raw thinking, exchange, and world-making. Their collaboration explores unfamiliar logics of communication, virtuosity, and difference, cultivating practices of listening, negotiation, and transformation. Through shared time and practice, dancing becomes both a mechanism of displacement and belonging—a space where bodies continuously reshape one another and where new possibilities of expression, relation, and imagination emerge.

Vitoria Kotsalou and Stephanos Lentzis are Onassis AiR Fellows for 2026/27.
