Mariela Nestora works within the field of dance and performance as choreographer, researcher, co-curator and mentor and is based in Athens, Greece. She, graduated from the Master's program on artistic research at ArtEZ University of the Arts, Holland (Master Theatre Practices) in 2019 and has also studied the Feldenkrais method (Greece 1 Training with director Ruty Bar, IFF International Feldenkrais Federation), Contemporary dance and Choreography (London Contemporary Dance School, UK), Biology (B.Sc., Queen Mary and Westfield, U.K.) and Human Molecular Genetics (M.Sc.

She creates performances for the stage, as well as site specific and public space projects, both as a choreographer for YELP danceco. and independent dance maker. Mariela's work has been supported by organisations and institutions such as the Greek Ministry of Culture, Athens and Epidaurus Festival, Onassis Cultural Center, Kalamata International Festival a.o. Her artistic research is mobilized by the urgent review of the relationship between humans and the environment. Situated within Post Humanism she investigates choreography as a gathering speculating on different modes of coexistence. Since 2020 she is developing a methodology for what she coined as "molecular choreography". Her interest in gatherings and collaborations since 2011 led her to instigate the Collective Choreography Project CCP, the artist led initiative for the Greek dance scene from stage to page (an artist led platform including publications for the Greek dance scene) as well as becoming a member of several collectives (Green Park, Kolektiva Omonoia, Embros Theatre, Syndesmos Chorou) and other collective projects and publications.
