Eleni Ploumi
Mentorship United Cowboys for the year 2023
within the scope of PLAN Brabant
Eleni Ploumi (1988 – Thessaloniki, GR) is a performer and choreographer working from Tilburg, the Netherlands. She studied Theatre Dance Performance at the Contemporary/Urban Department of the Fontys Dance Academy, graduating from the Bachelor of Choreography (2016).
Her presence in the field has been equally devoted between creating performances and performing for other dance companies or artists, two activities that for her can only co-exist and feed each other.
As a dance maker she always performs in her own creations, for she is enthralled by the potent relation between her and the audience during a live performance. Her fascination lies in taking the audience along with her in a biomatic experience and share this experience in different levels, but still together. She strongly inclines towards performance art and her work is characterized by high and intense physical activity combined with theatrical and performance-installation elements.
After a few years of artistic advice and in-the-studio coaching by United Cowboys, in the year 2023 Eleni will be creating a performance installation with their mentorship, which will be presented in different parts throughout the entire year.
