Bio

Evangelia and Mary Randou was born in Corfu Island. They graduated from the State School of Dance in Athens while at the same time they were interested in various kinds of artistic practices. 

They are co-founders of Garage Performing Arts Center and Garage21 dance company. 

​

Their background as professional dancers and their experience as freelancers was a benefit to recognize the need to support dance professionals and creators, 

as well as the potential of a growing audience in a distant place like Corfu Island.

That was the motivation for the inception of the Garage Performing Arts Center - a former auto repair space, was transformed by them, into a playground for dance dedicated to dance professionals, creators, and people who love to dance.
