ALEX KROS
Alex Kros was trained in Dance, Visual arts, Cinema and theater. These different disciplines allow him to walk through the borders of visual arts and dance, creating performances that are open to all kinds of audiences. His works are characterized from the strong images, fascinating lighting atmospheres and delicate dance movements with versatility, fluidity and sharpness. Artistically, he characterizes himself bipolar as his creations are sometimes hyperactive and sometimes minimalist. He is exploring the limits of the human body and how it can transfer energy through the movement and also through the stillness. Born in Greece, Alex has a Bachelor of Economics, he studied dance at Greek National State School of Dance (K.S.O.T) and Rallou Manou Professional Dance School (GR) as well as he has an associate degree in Acting And Directing.
