Georgia Tegou and Kristina Pulejkova have been working together since 2017 creating interdisciplinary work that uses dance, holographic imagery, live projection mapping, immersive 360 video, and most recently VR and XR. They are recipients of the inaugural Studio Light Moves: Open Futures residency and development award at Dance Limerick in 2021.
Georgia Tegou – Director / Choreographer
Choreographer and stage director, Georgia Tegou’s work approaches ‘Dance-as-design’, intertwining choreography with design to craft immersive visual environments. Drawing inspiration from architecture, sculpture, visual arts, science and philosophy, she explores the symbiotic relationship between dance and spatial arts, seeking to encapsulate nuances of the human condition.
Her work has been presented by Dance Umbrella International Festival, Sadler’s Wells, the Royal Ballet and Opera, the Venice Biennale of Architecture, Onassis Stegi, the Greek National Opera, Athens & Epidaurus Festival, ZfinMalta National Dance Company among others. She is a Higher Education Academy Fellow, previously a Senior Lecturer at the University of Roehampton, and continues to guest lecture globally including Central Saint Martins College of Art, Rambert School of Ballet & Contemporary Dance and London Contemporary Dance School.
She is an artist in residence at Somerset House Exchange, a programme supporting extraordinary interdisciplinary practitioners and one of the six resident artists at Studio Wayne McGregor pushing boundaries of dance, movement and physical Intelligence.
Kristina Pulejkova – Director / Visual Artist
Kristina Pulejkova is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is informed by science and technology. Her work explores how the use of technology might lead to greater forms of sustainability in human-nature relationships. Working across moving image, sound and installation, she aims to build subjective narratives based on scientific data and principles.
In her work, she tends to imagine voices from creatures, objects and even atoms to inhabit non-human perspectives. Through the use of immersive technology, her works often deal with environmental issues, telling personal stories that place audiences at the centre of the scene, allowing for a protagonist’s perspective and a different way of seeing.
Kristina holds a Magisterium Degree (BA + MA) in Painting and Animation from the University for Applied Arts, Vienna, Austria (2012) and an MA Degree in Art and Science from Central Saint Martins, London, UK (2014). She is a recipient of the inaugural FLAMIN Fellowship by Film London (2017).
Kristina’s works have been exhibited/screened at the Ars Electronica Festival, Linz, AT; National Gallery, Skopje, NMK; MoCA, Skopje NMK; The Science Museum, London, UK; MAN Museum, Sardinia, IT; The V&A, London, UK; MAK, Vienna, AT; Project Space Kunsthalle, Vienna, AT; Het Glaspaviljoen, Eindhoven, NL; Upstream Gallery, Amsterdam, NL; Art COP21 Paris, FR; Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK; Art Licks Festival, London UK; Lewisham Art House, London, UK; and Royal College of Arts, London, UK amongst others.
