A minute with Panayiotis Tofi, Choreographer

A minute with Panayiotis Tofi, Choreographer

Where do you live?At the moment I live on my own. In the city of Nicosia.

What did you have for breakfast?Gluten-free porridge oats, peanut butter and a banana. With coconut milk.

Describe your perfect dayA carefree summer day at the beach with special friends, preferably on a Greek island, followed by a night at the club with non-stop dancing to electronic music.

Best book ever read?Tell The Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt. Because it connects perfectly to how I believe love feels and what is actually about. Especially love that comes after loss and grief.

Best childhood memory?Lots of those… Well… One should be the moment I enter the beach in Ayia Napa for the first time in the summer at the age of seven, with my inflatable pool float unicorn. Priceless image.

What is always in your fridge?Coconut milk!

What music are you listening to in the car at the moment?Mostly to electronic music. These days I am listening to ‘Yes I do’ by Monika, on repeat.

What’s your spirit animal?Dolphin! Because dolphins are kind creatures of the water, which have excellent communication skills, are extremely intelligent and yet friendly, caring, while adventurous and free.

What are you most proud of?I am proud of my life choices no matter the difficulties I might have faced at times, as well as the integrity, creativity and honesty I approach my work in the dance theatre field.

What movie scene has really stayed with you?That should be the ending scene in Sorrentino’s La Grande Bellezza. Because it explains in few words what we should appreciate and perceive as beauty in life.

If you could pick anyone at all (alive or dead) to go out for the evening with, who would it be?My mother. In order to ask a million things, give her a proper hug and finally get the chance to say a proper farewell.

If you could time travel when/where would you go?I would go back to the years of being a student in Athens during the year of 2003, hoping to spend one of those summer days in Syros island.

What is your greatest fear?Acrophobia

What would you say to your 18-year-old self?“Go after what makes you feel alive. Don’t think twice. Don’t doubt yourself.”

Name the one thing that would stop you dating someoneAny kind of manipulative behaviour.

If the world is ending in 24 hours what would you do?Invite everyone I like to a massive beach party – hoping they would come under the circumstances – with lots of alcohol and electronic music. I would most probably hug and kiss everyone!
