The very first time i watched Kat Valastur's performance was many many years ago but i still remember the feeling. Intense, powerful, vibrated, electrized like coming from the very deep of my body and then it was coming out in a non controlled vibe. 

Kat Valastur says that maybe it's her passion that motivates her to create. I am calling it a gift. Cause the gift consists of a mixture of things that give this unique entity at Katerina's mind, soul and body. A mixture of essential "things" that make other people feel, questioned, see a new perspective and maybe a new life. As Katerina says: Desire, restlessness, the need to learn more, to experience more, to find a place and the conditions to work. To find yourself and your limits. To know that you couldn't but live a life where you could always create and accepting the challenges of such a life. I call it a gift.

Katerina's dialogues between the conscious and the unconscious will always guide her to a more deep, meaningful and at the same time challenging life, mirroring this unique self to her choreographies.

Thank you Katerina for your time and your deep and essential thoughts. Cause humans who transfer essential messages through their work, they don't focus only at the functional part of it but they question and search all the time truth, philosophy and the "psychology" of life. 

1. Evi Alexaki Asks: The themes of your choreographies always have a deeper meaning. They emit a powerful feeling that usually derives from a substantial ethical, societal and/or philosophical concern. What role plays in your mind, in your soul and in your life such values?

 Kat Valastur answers: (listen to the recorded file).

2. Evi Alexaki Asks:  Could you remember if those same values, probably in a different aspect, had an active impact in your childhood?

Kat Valastur answers: (listen to the recorded file).

3. Evi Alexaki Asks:  You are a greek with a great career all over the world as a choreographer. Do you believe that your wings took you so far cause you activated interpersonal mechanisms and observations that made you to exploit your innate passion? If yes, do you believe that innate gift should first be observed and then cultivated?

Kat Valastur answers: (listen to the recorded file).

4. Evi Alexaki Asks:  Different cities, different cultures, different humans. Does this mixture helps you to make new discoveries for human beings and re evaluate your thoughts so as body's energy and finally your choreography's feelings and work outs?

Kat Valastur answers: (listen to the recorded file).

5. Evi Alexaki Asks:  Could you describe us how it feels when you are triggered by a thought that finally becomes a choreography? Just to give us a little idea of your inspiration process. Probably it's mostly a feeling but could you give it a try?
