Ανα-χορο-βίωση

Του αρχαιοελληνικού χορού φέρνω την αναβίωση
βάζω στις μούχλες τις παλιές μοντέρνα αντιβίωση.

Ανοίγω τα παράθυρα να μπει φρέσκος αέρας
σε βολεμένους κι αραχτούς δείχνω αδρά το πέρας.

Στους χορογράφους τελικά τον πρώτο λόγο δίνω
γραφιάδες και φιλόλογους στην άκρη τους αφήνω.

Δίνω στα πλήθη το χορό τον αναβιωμένο
μπούχτισα το κρυφό σχολειό το περιορισμένο.

Θέλω να βλέπω αρχαϊκά τις μάζες να χορεύουν
το κλέος των προγόνων τους μόνοι τους να γυρεύουν.

Στην άκρη, επιστήμονες, είπατε τα δικά σας,
ελάτε δάσκαλοι χορού, ήρθε πια η σειρά σας.

"I was fortunate to cross path with Anahit during the general assembly meet of CID at Athens a few years ago and she Instantly struck a connection with me with her finest nature and approach towards the art. She further impressed me with her deep understanding of the art civilization and how the cultures are closely connected despite the geographical and political differences. We invested our times diving deeper into the similarities of our cultures and art and it felt so surreal to realize what we represent today, is a cumulative of what we are shaped into through not just one, but many life times. Anahit's representation of art, thereby carries a lot more than a coming together of physical formations. Each piece of art that she brings about, I felt, is a result of her immense analysis and understanding that has gone into it. I truly appreciate her artistic endeavors and I am eagerly looking forward to her future productions. My best wishes Ana! "

"The art of Anahit Saribekyan as unique and incomparable as the artists herself.
Anahit is a mega-human, mega-dancer, singer, choreographer and personality! She makes everyone around falling in love with her, children she works with, audience, parents, colleagues. Anahit-jan has created a series of incredible dance performances for the Raduga dance company such as choreographic miniatures Dancing Caryatides and Catharsis. Dancing Caryatides have been awarded a laureate prize of the 1st category at the Star Energy International Festival in January 2020. Everyone in our company including children, parents, pedagogues are happy to express their deep gratitude, respect and support to the outstanding dancer, choreographer and art-historian, our dear Anahit-jan.

" I met Anahit only 10 months ago (August 2019) at a camp in Greece but I felt as if I had known her all my life. Anahit impressed me with the ease and eagerness that she was dancing an Armenian folklore dance, but mostly with the love that she was dancing. The dance came from her heart and you could easily see that. I loved her grace and her professional touch while she was teaching her workshops. I find Anahit's choreographies quite diverse, I see she likes to experiment in styles and you have to be a really brave artist to be able to do that - switch between different roles."

"Ms Anahit is an epitome of the grace and beauty that makes the perfect dancer. A few years ago I had the wonderful opportunity to learn from her. Her style is innovative and inspiring and sparks new ideas in young dancers like me. She is a wonderful and kind person, always full of energy. It is an absolute privilege to know and have learnt from such a person."

"Ho avuto l'onore di conoscere Anahit nel 2015 a Roma ed ad ammirare la sua danza spettacolare con gli miei occhi. Anahit quando balla ti trasmette i birvidi, poichè tramite la sua danza ti parla, ti racconta la storia e la cultura di una nazione antica; la quale è la mia bellissima Armenia. Anahit oltre di essere una proffesionista è una persona speciale. Non smettere mai di ballare, il ballo ti rende ancora più bella.
La danza non è un'arte per avere successo. Ma un dono per dare agli altri un'emozione."

Tehmina Arshakyan

"I really enjoy Anahit's choreographies and her way of teaching. For a few years she has been introducing her works at Caryatids Ancient Greek Dance Company in Athens. I enjoyed working with her and dancing at the shows she had organized. Anahit has a very kind, generous yet fair personality. There are so many things one can lean from her. Moreover, her classes are always fun and interesting."

"Անահիտի հետ ծանոթացել եմ 2019 թվականին Հունաստանի Խալկեդիկի հայկական կամպինգի ժամանակ, որտեղ որ անցկացվում էին հայկական պարերի դասեր։ Ես տեսագրում եի այդ միջոցառումը և նկատեցի թե որքան էին բոլոր մասնակիցները ոգևվորված Անահիտի վարած դասերից։ Ինքն իր գիտելիքներով եւ էներգիայով ոգեվորոմ էր բոլորին, մինչեւ անգամ նրանք, որ պարել չգիտեին, փորձում էին սովորել հայկական ազգային պարերը։ Ես անձամբ հարստացրեցի իմ գիտելիքները պարերի մասին, որտեղից եւ ոնց են առաջացել այդ պարերը, մի բան, որը որ ինձ համար շատ մեծ նշանակության ունեցավ։"
