Alkistis Dimech.

On this episode I am talking to Alkistis Dimech about her work in dance, magic and publishing.

This is a wonderfully deep and encouraging story and illuminates the incredible work that she does.

Alkistis Dimech is an artist, dancer-choreographer and writer exploring the occulted dimensions of the carnal body and its subtle anatomy. Her art and praxis is grounded in ankoku but\\xf4 (dark dance), which she has practised since 2002. Alkistis considers herself as a dancer after Nietzsche, and pursues a vision of the dancing body and its technique as the final place of resistance.

With Peter Grey, she is the co-founder of Scarlet Imprint, an independent press which publishes practitioner-oriented works on magic, esotericism and the occult.

Alkisitis has performed in the UK, Europe and the United States, solo and in collaboration with musicians and artists, notably Z\\u2019EV, Gast Bouschet and Nadine Hilbert, and Anji Cheung \\u2013 and spoken of her practice and given workshops, at conferences and events in the UK, Europe and the United States.

Selected works from 2008 to 2018 are documented in The Brazen Vessel (Scarlet Imprint 2019). She is currently creating\\xa0 Antimony \\u2013 a work of texts and images on the transfiguration of the body \\u2013 and secunda creatura, a dance of evocation and exorcism.
