Ioanna Paraskevopoulou is an Athens-based dancer and choreographer. She trained at the Municipal Dance School of Kalamata under the direction of Vicky Maragkopoulou and is a graduate of the Greek National School of Dance and the Department of Audio and Visual Arts at the Ionian University.

Her practice operates at the intersection of choreography and audiovisual media, engaging with hybrid forms that bring into dialogue movement, image, and sound. Working extensively with archival material, she reconstructs photographic and video archives, approaching editing as a choreographic tool and exploring the performative dimension of foley sound as a means of reactivating the relationship between body and media.

As a performer, she has collaborated with artists including Iris Karayan, Christos Papadopoulos, Dimitris Papaioannou, Katerina Andreou, Lenio Kaklea, Alexandra Waierstall, Antonis Foniadakis, Patricia Apergi, Tzeni Argyriou, Ermira Goro, Sofia Mavragani, Brendan Fernandes, Harry Koushos, Thomas Moschopoulos, Ki omOs kineitai, among others. She is particularly interested in developing long-term collaborations that allow for sustained artistic exchange and evolving creative processes.

Her choreographic and video works unfold between stage and screen. All She Likes Is Popping Bubble Wrap (Onassis New Choreographers Festival 8) received Best Sound Design (FIVideodanza) and Best Video Art (MIFVIF). Battle of Fishes was awarded Best Cinematography (InShadow) and received Special Recognition (Screendance International). MOS (ONCF 9) was selected as part of Aerowaves Twenty23 and toured internationally, while Coconut Effect received the Young Jury Award at Danse Élargie 2022 and was later re-staged with students of the Conservatoire de Paris. Her work with moving image includes the documentaries This Is Not a Statue and Unseen Horses, developed in collaboration with Dance Theater Heidelberg.

She has taught at the Municipal Dance School of Kalamata, the Greek National School of Dance and the professional dance school Chorohronos, and leads workshops internationally. Her teaching engages with movement, archival thinking, and the relationship between body and media.

Recent works include All of My Love (Onassis Dance Days, 2024), Unseen Horses (2025), and Telos (2025), in collaboration with Maria Hassabi, Hannes Langolf, and Ermira Goro. She is an Onassis AiR Fellow (2025–2026) through the Dramaturgy Fellowship. She is currently developing a new research project titled Hardcore Echoes, while touring internationally as a performer with Christos Papadopoulos’ work My Fierce Ignorant Step.
