Contemporary dance is based on the organisation of the body towards expressive movement and the development of its relation to rhythm and space. The classes are based on the quality of movement and bodily rhythm as it relates to music, spirals, breathing, relation to the ground plane, and continuity of motion.

The Venue
Art space, contemporary dance stage, live music venue, audiovisual studio. Home of the fuzzy mind and the experimentally inclined psyche. And Die Wolke Art Group’s headquarters.
Inside the 130 sq.m. space one finds a theatrical stage with an arsenal of audiovisual technology supporting it, an electronics lab, an editing/color grading/VFX workstation, sound and lights, a 5m projection screen, cameras, and a host of sensor and controller apparatus. Also a small number of people that are adept at utilising the aforementioned implements to creative effect. Vitruvian Thing is intended to host all kinds of experimental activities, collaborations, and educational events: dancetheatre performances, live music, film projections, installations, theatre, talks, exhibitions.
Events at Vitruvian Thing are invariably underscored by our philosophy of artistic and presentational quality. The venue, as well as its managing group Die Wolke, is a non-profit endeavour (Die Wolke is a registered non-profit company).
Vitruvian Thing seats around 50 people in four rows. Most shows have multiple times/dates, so reservations are essential. We make it a point to start on time, to break the vicious circle of showtime delays that encourage belated arrivals and so on. We recommed that you subscribe to our mailing list to stay informed. We will never abuse your email address!
We are always looking for interesting performances to host, that meet our mission statement: high quality, forward thinking art; experimental, innovative ideas by contemporary artists; cross-disciplinary, intermedial technique; including, but certainly not limited to, dancetheatre, contemporary experimental/electroacoustic music, performance art, movie screenings, and more.

Admission
Unspecified ticket
At Vitruvian Thing, we acknowledge the difficult financial circumstances of this period. So, unless otherwise noted, admittance to the events we host entails an unspecified amount: you decide how much the ticket should be and, in doing so, you are supporting the artists and helping Die Wolke keep the venue running. At the entrance, we issue donation coupons to acknowledge your contribution, equivalent to receipts, as required by law.
So, upon arrival at Vitruvian Thing and checking in at the welcome desk, you can choose your own price of admission: literally as much as you think is just right for you. You receive your coupon, and enjoy the show.
Some events, though, especially festivals or acts coming from outside Thessaloniki, might entail a specific ticket. These will be clearly noted, and presale will be offered, instead of reservations.
