Fokas Evangelinos

Fokas Evangelinos is a Greek choreographer, creative director, and teacher who has shaped performance across theatre, opera, television, and large-scale broadcast events. A graduate of Greece's National School of Dance, Evangelinos began his work as a choreographer in 1991 and founded his own dance school in 1996. He has taught at the National Theatre's drama school and maintains a practice rooted in both classical training and contemporary staging.

Evangelinos's career spans the National Theatre, the Athens Epidaurus Festival, the Greek National Opera, cinema, and television. His work characteristically operates at the intersection of choreography and creative direction—disciplines he has navigated across productions of different scales. He choreographed Greece's Eurovision Song Contest entry in 2005, which won the competition, and served as creative director for the Eurovision Song Contest when it was held in Athens in 2006. Beyond Eurovision, he has worked with delegations from several other nations on the contest.

On screen, Evangelinos has extended his practice into music video and broadcast ceremonies. He contributed to the creative direction of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens. His approach to large-scale events treats choreography, performer placement, camera movement, and scenic architecture as integrated elements of a unified vision. This integration of movement with broadcast design and event structure has become a defining feature of his work.
