For your entertainment only deals with the image
of the performer and his constant effort to endure
the ever-changing, ever-evolving demands of the
world of entertainment. The above choreographic
trio satirises the performer’s desire and need to
succeed and be accepted, whilst studying the
relationships that emerge between the audience,
the dancer and the choreographer. Three people
compete on stage to gain the audience’s approval
and attention, creating bittersweet situations and
interactions.
Zoe Georgallis graduated in 2011 from the Trinity
Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance (BA

acclaimed artists and researchers such as Gill
Clarke, Valerie Preston Dunlop and Rosemary

has a symbolic meaning that marks the
passage from one state of consciousness to
another; a path which transforms us and brings us
a little closer to our essence, to a more conscious,
luminous and serene state of being.
