EKLEIDO
EKLEIDO is a choreographic duo made up of Hannah Ekholm and Faye Stoeser choreographing for live performance and film. They have both individually had extensive dance careers within the contemporary dance world, commercial industry and underground club/street dance scenes.
Their work takes influences from both their vocabularies combining contemporary dance and underground club/battle styles including New Way Voguing, bone-breaking and threading.
The name is a fusion of the words Echo and Kaleidoscope as well as the word Eido which in Greek means to perceive or discover, which represents the work they are creating.
