Costas Kekis began dancing in Athens as a kid in his family's living room before engaging with dance professionally. He has performed for Sara Lanner, Doris Ulich, Oleg Soulimenko & Fanni Futterknecht and shown his work or collaborations in Croatia, Spain, Norway, Switzerland, France, Germany & Austria (Improspekcije2022 Zagreb, Ostertanztage Salzburg, Altera Pars Theater in Athens, 100 Grad Festival Berlin and Brut Wien, Raw Matters Vienna, Tanzquartier, WUK and ImPulsTanz among others). He also worked as a dramaturge/outside eye with Magdalena Chowaniec, Fanni Futterknecht, Lau Lukkarila, Beatrix Simkó, Asher O‘ Gorman, Katerina Andreou, Martina de Dominicis, Karin Pauer. In 2021 and 2022 he coordinated artistically the Life Long Burning Event Performance Situation Room in the frame of Impulstanz. He was a danceWEB scholar in 2010.

As a maker, he is interested in creating socially situated and contextualised choreographies. In his creative processes he applies framed improvisation as a tool to generate physical material, which is usually informed by sound, a sensorial approach to movement, relations between the personal/private and the social sphere, aspects of queerness and sociopolitical situations. In BOUNCE – one of his latest works – he has used aspects of Somatic Experiencing in order to create a physical ritual of collective repair, whereas in L04D – his latest creation – he reflects on social parallels drawn between the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s/1990s and the recent COVID-19 pandemic in order to address matters of biopolitics, queerness, care and stigma.
