ANDREAS CONSTANTINOU

The WOMANhouse sees four powerfully athletic female performers transform themselves into men. Acting like typical blokes with beards and all they stir up fights and frenzy. Questioning masculinity in female bodies, they tear up stereotypical ideas about what it is to be a man – and about what female bodies might do. Tender, aggressive, sexy, blurry, this show crosses all the lines.

Andreas Constantinou initially trained as a dancer and performance artist and graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in 2003. Since graduating Andreas has worked and collaborated with companies and artists such as: Kitt Johnsons X-act, PunchDrunkTheatricalExperiences, Athina Vahla, CandoCo Dance Company and Uniform. Andreas Constantinou has presented his works in venues such as The South Bank, The Royal Festival Hall, Bonnie Bird Theatre, Robin Howard Dance Theatre, Archauz/Bora Bora, Ambasseden, Aalborg Theatre, Aarhus Kunstbygning, Dansehallerne, Odin Theatre and the Donau festival, Austria.

In early 2003 Andreas Constantinou initiated the company titled Himherandit Productions, a company aimed at combining different art forms to create diverse and innovative productions. Himherandit.productions have to date presented a wide range of dance-theatre and site specific performance installation works through out Europe. In 2014 and 2015 Andreas received two awards from The Danish Arts Council Committee for his creations of the solo performance ReDoing GENDER 1.5 (2014) and group performance The WOMANhouse (2015), naming him as a new exciting artistic voice in the Danish Arts Scene.  In 2015 Andreas was selected as one of the Aerowaves20 artists with his performance of The WOMANhouse.
