Dance and the Mind is an exper­i­men­tal — inclu­sive — dance the­ater group cre­at­ed in 2009 by Rodoula Guliamberi

It is active exper­i­men­tal­ly in the field of art and, hav­ing an enter­tain­ing char­ac­ter, pro­motes equal­i­ty and the accep­tance of diver­si­ty. The group’s phi­los­o­phy is found in sin­gle words such as hon­esty, accep­tance and acces­si­bil­i­ty. There­fore, hav­ing as a basic rule hon­esty and accep­tance of both them­selves and oth­ers, its mem­bers want through their art to invite and chal­lenge peo­ple to dance, move, touch and escape from the bound­aries of the estab­lish­ment . . To put aside for a while any stereo­typ­i­cal notions they have about dance and dis­abil­i­ty but also about art and dis­abil­i­ty in gen­er­al and to feel with all the sens­es what is hap­pen­ing in the present, the result that is reflect­ed when art and dis­abil­i­ty meet. Team mem­bers, con­cur­rent­ly with their pre­sen­ta­tions, expe­ri­en­tial­ly inves­ti­gate the axis-ori­ent­ed approach to art. Each per­son, each par­tic­u­lar sit­u­a­tion, each dif­fer­ent phys­i­cal­i­ty stud­ies her­self, her body, her mind with obser­va­tion as a basic tool. Infor­ma­tion is thus col­lect­ed and at the end of this research every­one who has devel­oped their per­son­al tech­nique.
