Art Director`s Note

Maria Karapanagioti

Our goal is to raise public awareness on issues of marginalization and to break the stigma around disability through active participation.

The shared presence on stage of people with and without disabilities proves that the power of art makes the aesthetic and harmonious coexistence of all people possible — without discrimination.

8th IDFD - International Dance Festival Disability

12 years I.D.F.D.

The Festival - an institution - of Karditsa city and our country, will be implemented this year for the 12th consecutive time at the pan-Hellenic level and for the 8th time internationally, always with the participation of dance groups and artists from Greece and abroad.

The Festival will include a live presentation of a dance work and in addition a variety of activities with the presence of important personalities and scientists.

The continuous presence and interest of the Greek teams who have supported our effort from the very beginning and their continuous development have been the greatest joy for us all these years!
