Our ambition is to explore the artistic possibilities of water as a stage. Through SEAQUINS, we embrace the entire creative process, from the first spark of an idea to seeing what we imagined become reality. From underwater performances to unexpected concepts, there is so much we want to explore. Seeing clients and audiences respond with wonder is deeply rewarding and inspires us to keep imagining and creating…”
Maria Alzigkouzi and Katerina Foukala, Co-founders, SEAQUINS
SEAQUINS is a Greece-based aquatic performance company founded by creative directors Maria Alzigkouzi and Katerina Foukala. Former teammates in artistic swimming, they reunited with a shared vision: to bring the precision of elite sport into artistic performance. The SEAQUINS team brings together former Greek National Team athletes, including European medallists, World Championship finalists and members of Greece’s Tokyo 2020 Olympic team who create bespoke aquatic performances for weddings, private celebrations, hotels and corporate events, alongside visual productions for brands. From concept and choreography to music, costumes and styling, SEAQUINS develops each production to reflect the occasion. Selected collaborations include The EstĂ©e Lauder Companies for MAC Cosmetics, CHANEL beauty, Gillette Venus and Monjasa…
C&B: “Maria and Katerina, your SEAQUINS performances are incredible! What first inspired you to put the troupe, or team, together?”
M&K: “Our years as elite artistic swimmers shaped who we are. We wanted to carry that shared experience beyond competition, combining athletic precision with greater creative freedom in music, choreography and storytelling. SEAQUINS grew from our desire to create together and share our sport’s beauty with a wider audience…”
Music is at the heart of our creative process. We translate rhythm, emotion and musical detail into movement, refining transitions, accents and pauses through rehearsals. With live accompaniment, coordination with musicians and the sound team establishes shared timing, cues and underwater video…”

C&B: “What is your typical client profile and is there anywhere our readers and followers can see you regularly perform?”
M&K: “Our work includes regular performances throughout the summer season at Kalesma Mykonos, a luxury boutique hotel, alongside brand events, corporate celebrations and weddings at private estates and wedding venues…”
We design our costumes around each concept and the celebration’s colours and aesthetic, from crystal-embellished swimwear to minimal or vintage-inspired looks. Props and costume changes can become part of the choreography. Developing these pieces ourselves is a creative process we love, balancing visual impact with freedom of movement in water…”

C&B: “One of the most impressive aspects of your performances is the surprise element – it’s a fantastic show and a great talking point. Which destinations are your favourites, and why?”
M&K: “We’re drawn to the Greek islands, especially Mykonos, where light, architecture and the sea inspire us. We love contemporary resorts with distinctive pools such as infinity pools overlooking the sea, and natural settings, including the sea or a lake where conditions allow. Each setting inspires a different concept and approach…”
For grand galas, we recommend eight or more performers, allowing for more elaborate lifts, intricate formations and greater visual impact across a large pool or suitable open-water setting. We can also explore collaborations with other artists for a broader production. Smaller ensembles start from four, with the final size shaped by the setting and creative concept…”

C&B: “Which bespoke choreographic styles or themes best elevate high-end wedding receptions?”
M&K: “We love romantic, flowing choreography for an intimate atmosphere, vintage-inspired performances for a playful mood, or contemporary pieces for dramatic impact. The couple’s personality and celebration’s aesthetic guide the music, costumes and movement, making the performance a personal part of their wedding…”
C&B: “If it’s a corporate event, which bespoke branding, monograms, or symbolic formations can swimmers sculpt mid-routine?”
M&K: “We can explore initials, simple symbols or formations inspired by a brand’s visual identity. We consider performer numbers, space and viewing angles to ensure formations read clearly within the choreography. As well as professional photography, videography can be arranged on request, with coverage agreed for each production. Underwater filming reveals details and movement that guests may not see from above, creating lasting visual material for the couple or brand…”
C&B: “Last question, Maria and Katerina: How do you craft an unforgettable finale?”
M&K: “We bring music and movement together through a striking formation, an acrobatic lift or an unexpected reveal. The finale grows from each performance’s story and mood, leaving guests with an everlasting image…”
