EXIS is a professional inclusive dance company of disabled and non-disabled dancers based in Athens, Greece. It was founded in 2015 with the aim to include people with disabilities into the dance world.
EXIS Dance Company aims to promote inclusive dance through professional dance projects and performances, to create a site for inclusive dance education and training and to provide access to creativity and artistic expression to disabled people.
At the heart of our values is the acceptance that each body is unique and this sets the basis for building mutual understaning, co-creating and dancing together without losing our personal artistic identity.
By organizing workshops and dance performances, we want to create social awareness and foster equality for disabled people in the field of dance.
In 2019, EXIS together with THEAMA (Professional Inclusive Theatre Company) created ISON, a school that provides inclusive education and artistic expression for Theater and Dance. It is the first space for inclusive education in the performing arts for disabled and non-disabled artists in Athens.
Our company participates in European and Erasmus programmes and collaborates with inclusive companies and institutions locally and abroad.
