THEATER
Women of Color – Bow Theater Group // Theater (60 ‘)

How much can the past crush us?

A poetic, deeply existential thriller of emotional conflicts.

Two women, two sisters, Elli and Anna, in their attempt to escape from this something, the dark “past”, somewhere in their paternal home – or not.Two opposite worlds that find their meeting point in the memory and representation of their childhood. They cause, crumple, despair, reminisce, get angry, fall in love, die and are reborn from their ashes. Two beings, two opposing forces – the conscious and the unconscious.

And a path, this one in the dark fields of fantasy and repressed desire. Man’s fear of the unknown, the different, the uncertain. A struggle for survival. The redemption that comes through the other. A window to freedom that opens together. “It is a challenging work in terms of its subject and its handling, but it is also a poetic edifice almost geometric and musical. The use of language, the concoctions of rhythm, the lived time of the persons, the elliptical writing, the underground connections of the motifs, the associative connection, form a complete formation. ”

Costas Georgousopoulos, “The News”, 19-11-1984

The newly formed team BOW, with founding members Tina Tzatha and Kalli Kyriakou, begins timidly but also dynamically the first kilometers on the theatrical board, with the first work “Colored Women”. Members and contributors have common starting points and recruits. Most of them are young actors and artists who aim to develop a common language and course.

Where is Gondo? – Riscus Theater Group // Theater (15 ‘)

A study on Samuel Beckett’s work “Waiting for Godot”.

Two subjects in a timeless place where nothing happens. A spiral that starts from the unconscious and for a moment illuminates the meaning of the world? Or a perpetual cycle of life and death?

The subjects go from speech to action and from action to the sound landscape and then, through the authentic movement – a bridge that connects the conscious with the unconscious – they return to speech.

In the flow of action something “spoils”, something is inserted, like a dream, like a hurried thought that came for a while and is lost again in the flow. The stage space is deconstructed and redefined.

Fairytale Words in the Scarf – Arnitsi Beach // Theater (50 ‘)

Were the moires old and toothless after all?

Did the fairy manage to beat the moon?

Did the mermaid find her brother?

Does Elia have a soul?

Ifigenia Kakridoni and Maria Terzaki narrated required information inspired by our oral tradition appearances were rewritten by Angeliki Darlasi.

A show with the appearance, search songs and questions that remind us of the requests that our grandparents used to say about the issues, requested information, every time we have, have, have, comfort, accompany and explain what fears us. Fairies, degrees, mermaids and ships were revived without our eyes from the mood of the five-syllable time, which flows like a river, dissolving with the different, with the indication, stopping honey in the image and the image I had to make.

The play is based on the fairy tales: Moires, To Petrokaravo, Gorgona and Elia, by Angeliki Darlasi from the series Stories of Modern Greek Mythology published by Metaichmio.

All beauty must die: Hamlets + Ophelia (Shakespeare – Müller) – Hamlet Machine // Θέατρο (40 ’)

“All beauty must die”, “Hamlet + Ophelia” by Shakespeare to Miller

is a poetic work from the heart of ruined Denmark to the ruins of modern Europe.

Two different projects that meet and converse to tell the truth of two young people who tried

to escape from time, to compensate for the pain, to cut the systemic umbilical cord of the society

and fly touching the bottom of the sanctuary.

This was Hamlet, this was Ophelia.

A Shakespearean Hamlet and a Miller, claim Ophelia in two space-time dimensions before and after.

One the a-deed, the other the deed and that the connecting link: “it would be enough for her -only- if he had ever loved her”.

A second story is conceived in history, making place non-place, time not time,

pain pleasure, suicide cure and those lovers and co-travelers

to an endless destination without end – beginning.

The text as a unit is a journey of fragments, types, ideas,

from Shakespeare to Miller and from Brecht to Bread (…)

DANCE- DANCE THEATER
Indonesian dance- Tamara Mladenovic // Dance (10 ’)

‘A traditional dance from Indonesia, from Bali. Indonesian dance is a very expressive and dynamic dance, with wonderful costume and quiet dynamic and nice Gamelan music.

Bali traditional dance has long been an important part of Balinese culture and has been passed down from generation to generation.

It is often said that drama is the preferred medium through which the Bali cultural tradition is transmitted. Balinese dances are so closely associated with Hinduism that many of them tell us important stories of Indonesian epics.

Que me veux- tu ?, Alea Jacta est, A memory like me- Group without reason // Physical theater (60 ’)

QUE ME VEUX – TU?

Shadow- The part that blocks light.

Dark and hidden.

It hides in it repulsed feelings, those that either could not be settled or could not be dissolved. Many times you do not want to see them, other times you can not bear to hear them, pushing them into the safe hiding place of the shadow.

What if you are trapped on the dark side?

Que Me Veux-Tu?

“Under one mask there is another.

I will never stop revealing all these people. ”

Claude Cahun

Music: Aaron Martin, Zbigniew Preisner, flafur Arnalds, Morlaer

ALEA JACTA EST

A world made with everyday and fantastic materials.

Persons and events that exist and do not exist.

Traces from before and after.

Eternal travelers on an endless return.

Stories of illusions and reasoning.

Mind and time set up a memory and strategy game.

Who determines the game?

Who is revealed in an instant?

Will he be the same until the next one?

A MEMORY LIKE ME

Do we exist in our memories?

For those moments when you can not tell if they really exist. If they passed or if for some reason you remember that they will come. As if in every moment everything was done or nothing was done, without continuity.

Somehow, somewhere there, I exist too ˙ or at least I can feel that I exist.

In the memory.

There I met you and me.

There I grew up, transformed into every union, every conflict and repulsion.

That is where the agony of oblivion was born. The addiction. The loss.

Because there are some moments, without memory – and yet I still feel that I exist.

Farewell – Quo Vadis dance co. // Dance Theater (40 ‘)

The piece, after its presentation at Rouf’s dock, it’s time to go on stage, adapting, expanding and deepening both its characters and its drama.

Each trip offers a new beginning but also a closing of something familiar. Sometimes we are given the opportunity to say goodbye while other times we choose to avoid it, as a sign of the final end that we are afraid to accept.

But what happens during a farewell? Two people shared moments and now it’s time to tie them in their luggage and walk away from each other. For a while; Forever; Is it “goodbye”? Is it “I will wait for you”?

The track is a duet that deals with the moments of separation during their common course. Common moments that look like coincidences, acquaintance, selfishness, defenses and superiority, courage, adaptation and understanding.

It is essentially a philosophical inquiry into the different perspectives that each attendee has on the event. The audience sees the cinematic image “two people say goodbye, one leaves the other stays”. But the two protagonists have completely different perspectives, even though they experience exactly the same event. One will remember him leaving and the other he will stay.

What thoughts are going through their minds, at this small but so intense moment? How can the audience enter into the perspective of each protagonist and experience the atmosphere created by the farewell of the two? And finally, can the viewer relive his own separations for those small but so important minutes? goodbye… and I will wait for you…

Parallels – Alexandra Costopoulou, Maria Moschou // Dance (30 ‘)

The butterfly phenomenon, in chaos theory, describes the sensitive dependence of a system on initial conditions. One formulation states that “if a butterfly flutters its wings in the Amazon, it may bring rain to China.” There are many different variants that express the same idea, that is, that an infinitesimal change in the course of events leads, after a long time, to an evolution of the history of the system dramatically different from what would have taken place if the change.

The conclusion of the butterfly effect, a term first used by meteorologist Edward Lorenz, is that a seemingly insignificant event can radically change the course of history, and we cannot know what would have happened without it. Also this -finally- so important role of the insignificant event can be known afterwards.

Can the butterfly effect be the source of inspiration for a dance performance that interacts with the audience? And how is a structured kinetic phrase influenced by the audience’s intervention in the plot, the layout of the space, the music, etc.?

PERFORMANCES
Xanthi- Fabrica Athens Theater Group // Theater Performance – Work in Progress (45 ’)

From reality to myth. Where does reality end and where does the Myth begin? Where is the beginning of Falsehood and where is the Truth? Light gives life to the shadow of a harsh Dream and its reflection is reflected in a fluid world. Am I awake or dreaming? And when I dream how do I know I’m not awake? I do not want to understand, I want to feel. What is the difference between Life, Dream and Myth? Or rather where do they come together?

The Multiactive Art Group – Fabrica Athens presents the theatrical performance “Xanthi”. The play is a modern, theatrical approach to Plato’s Cave, based on the life of Xanthi, but also a deposition – proposal in the “political” theater.

With elements from the Theater, Bubble Performing and the Circus, a theatrical, visual spectacle is composed, where the goal is for the actor’s body and objects to disappear and what will be left is the vibrations.

Show me your ticket, let me tell you who you are- Katerina Adamara // Performance (120 ‘)

– artistic & theatrical performance with active participation of the public –

A ten-year collection of tickets from means of transport, spectacles and entertainment, museums and art exhibition spaces from various European countries but mainly from Thessaloniki, Berlin, Athens becomes the occasion for an interactive performance that will take part in the 6th Handmade and Recycled Theater Festival.

Tickets are scrambled, categorized and composed in a collage, a table of different colors and sizes of different fonts and paper textures, a patchwork of photos and illustrations, embossed codings, glossy stripes, barcodes, titles and names.

These important highly personal life scraps are exposed in public space challenging the boundaries of staff, private and public.

What do the tickets say? Which route do they reveal? What emotions and memories do they evoke? Tickets are small occasions for short stories, autobiographical episodes that bounce back as a memory. The narratives interrupt the main action but at the same time promote the overall plot. The goal of these narrative breaks from the main action is to interact with the audience.

With the active participation of the public, the collective creation is strengthened and promoted and the direct, unmediated dialogue between the participants who are invited to bring, show and stick their own ticket, to bring and tell their own stories.

Thus the role of the artist-creator / performer and the spectator is questioned, while the spectacle turns into an invitation for action, to laugh together, to remember the old, to find similarities and differences to create them.

 Seminars
Research  Theater // Fabrica Lab – Fanis Katechos (180 ′)

Fabrica Lab and Fanis Katechos, as every year, organize 3 open and free research Theater workshops. Participants can attend individual courses or all 3, as there will be a connection between them.

THE IDEA

Research theater is an idea. And what ideas are meant to be is done. It is the truth that we close within ourselves and that we desperately try to find in order to be free. The truth that only through one method can we touch. But through what method will we be able to overcome the obstacles to fly as artists, people and society?

Research theater is a way for those looking to get in touch with the art of theater through themselves and the team. It is a continuous exploration of the already existing theatrical methods towards the acquisition of maneuvering and global knowledge and the shaping of the personal, but also group method that will free the human artist from the visible and invisible masks of everyday life. Finding the method that will make him capable to be present in the here and now on stage, but also in life.

THE ACT

This idea is built on the moment. Taking into account the personal need of each individual and the need of each team creates a liberating cycle of exercises to discover the luggage and tools we have. Exercises that have as a starting point the action, which will bring the result and that free us from the brain function, bringing to the surface forgotten functions that move our limits, while increasing consciousness.

Through this wandering we gradually strengthen our body, we watch the memory it has, while walking in its paths we find our true voice, as it comes out as it is through emotional vibrations.

We break down our selfish tendencies and listen to others. We work and act for them. Observing others and rubbing against them is the only way we can exorcise our buried diamonds and serve something higher than ourselves.

THE TARGET

This process aims to give participants the supplies to transform into plasticine people, who will have the ability to adapt to all kinds of conditions. Transformation into multi-tools that have the physical, mental and spiritual power to create an entire universe with whatever weapons they have, more or less. In addition, the goal is to train actors who will handle their roles as acrobats on a tightrope, denying security and without reassurance, but maintaining their personal peace. “Transparent” actors in debt, instead of projecting themselves, show the audience the light.

Stilts // FabricaLa b – Fanis Katechos (120 ′)

Stilt Art is coming to the 6th Handmade and Recycled Theater Festival. A workshop for those who want to get in touch with the art of Stiltwalking and want to enrich their skills.

The workshop is open and free to the public, while it requires good mood and determination. Participants are invited to bring with them comfortable, sneakers, as well as long tracksuits or leggings.

Yoga and Sound // Fabrica Lab – Giovanna Michaliadi Sarti Workshop (90 ’)

Activation of the body, through Yoga for training the mind. Investigation – observation of the sound landscapes and the music that the body produces, as well as the silence that occurs.

Goal: the acquisition of consciousness of the act, the relaxation of the thought and the enjoyment of the self in the moment.

Movement – Pause – Observation – Relaxation

Body – Look – Voice – Mind

Open dance Swing lesson // Rhythm Hoppers (60 ’)

Rhythm Hoppers (Augustinos Tran & Vasia Panagiotou) is a group created to spread the authentic Swing dances developed in the 20s-40s in America and danced to Swing music (Classic Jazz).

Lindy Hop belongs to the Swing family and was developed in the late ’20s in New York with influences from Authentic Jazz Dance, Tap, Breakaway and Charleston. Although he was born in the Savoy Ballroom to African-American dancers, he later became quite popular, appeared in several areas and was danced by many different groups of people. Having rhythm as its main feature, it gives dancers the opportunity to be inspired by Jazz music and improvise in listening to it. For this reason, although specific 6-count and 8-count movements are often repeated, each dance can differ significantly, depending on the style and personality of the dancers. In the test lesson, we will listen to swing music and learn the first steps by singing rhythms. We will also talk about posture, bounce and an introduction to partner dance.

African Dance // Sissy Pindela (90 ‘)

The objectives of the course are the acquaintance and awareness of our body, the control of our gravity as well as our contact with the floor and its energy. We study kinesiology from traditional dances of West Africa and more specifically from Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. We come in contact with percussions and different rhythms, we work as a group, we express ourselves, we are liberated, we have fun, we sweat and most of all we discover and share new emotions.

Self as stories: Workshop of Experiential Creative Theater – Lydia Xourafi (180 ′)

The workshop will start with exercises for activating the body and consciousness through breathing kinesiological motifs (physical theater techniques) and free physical expression. Then we will deal with exercises of applied-research theater, narrative drama (Narradrama) and visual expression to create a small-short composition based on personal material (memories, experiential physical experiences, narratives, dreams). Each participant will have the opportunity to choose the material to be shared which will serve as a starting point for the creative process. The last part of the workshop includes relaxation exercises and reflective discussion on the workshop experience. The workshop aims to develop means of expression, to encourage participation, to enhance emotional perception as well as to cultivate physical expression and consciousness.

The workshop is aimed at anyone who would like to expand their means of expression and creativity.

Self and role: Drama therapy workshop for adults – Transition (180 ′)

Drama Therapy is a method of psychotherapy that focuses on the healthy and strong points of the person and helps him, through his symbols and playful character, to gain self-knowledge and self-confidence, to accept himself and to transform his negative aspects with a very creative way.

This experiential workshop is addressed to students, teachers, mental health professionals, actors and those who wish to learn about drama therapy.

Through drama therapy techniques (role plays, improvisations, dramatization) we will explore the concepts of self and role, the relationship between them and how roles can be utilized as a means of self-knowledge and therapy. Participants will also be given the opportunity to “talk” with roles that may be trapped in everyday life and to dream and try roles they want in a safe environment.

Coordinators: Anna Louzi (Psychologist-Drama Therapist), Fotini Kapi (Drama Therapist-Psychopedagogue-Actor)

Contemporary dance seminar – Alexandra Costopoulou, Maria Moschou (120 ′)

By activating most of our muscle groups, by paying the minimum muscle strength, we will learn to function the body in its entirety, without restrictions. The aim of the seminar is for each person to know the possibilities of his body, how soft and equally strong it can be during the dance process. We will work through the tools of guided improvisation to achieve this goal. Then we will continue with exercises and a dance combination keeping as a memory in our body what preceded.

Based on the release technique.

Indonesian dance seminar – Tamara Mladenovic (180 ′)

Indonesian traditional dance from Bali and Sumatra.

Join us at the 6th Handicraft & Recycling Theater Festival to dance, try, feel the movements and sounds of great Indonesian culture.

Participants do not need to have specific dance experience, and it is good to wear comfortable clothes. The seminar will be held in Greek and English.

Tari Saman or the dance of a thousand hands is one of the most popular dances in Indonesia. It originates from the Gayo ethnic group from the Aceh province of Sumatra and is usually performed to celebrate important events.

The dance is performed by a group of people forming a line accompanied by a musician. The key here is that each player must move at the same time, creating a homogeneous, continuous line of movement often described as the defining feature of Tari Saman dance. The dance is characterized by the fast, energetic rhythm and the common harmony between the dancers.

We make our own toy world !, Toy making workshop from recyclable materials – ColorPlay (120 ′)

What does he dream of becoming a plastic bottle? What can a cardboard box be transformed into? How can a newspaper change shape? We learn to recycle materials and express our feelings differently. With our imagination, we put together pieces that seem useless, we decorate them, and suddenly a whole colorful world of toys unfolds in front of us. In the workshop, children will experiment with recyclable materials and with the help of children’s fairy tales and theatrical play exercises will expand their imagination and together we will compose our own fantasy stories.

This is a biographical note of a ensemble. This note has the purpose of promoting this ensemble. We hope that it will help to draw your attention to this ensemble and its work.

At this point we should mention the type of music that the ensemble performs, the year of foundation, the number of members, as well as a photo, where the members of the ensemble pose with their instruments.

All this information would act as a “bait”, where in one way or another, it would urge you to attend a concert of this ensemble. Maybe you bought a record that this set might be released

What is worth more?

A fallen anchor?

A wise seahorse?

What is a blue lobster looking for next to a bat in love?

What do a forest nymph and an invincible superhero have in common?

A journey into the land of strange creatures, where sly cats, night creatures, sea creatures, dragons and fairies, witches live… and where objects can have magical properties… a flying carpet, a rolling ring, a robot, a a needle that transforms the fabric… where a fearless heroine acts, an adventurous prince who in the end always triumphs overcoming all dangers and trials.

Love, transcendental, ordeal, transformation, everything meets, everything has a place in these journeys that never end.

PROJECTIONS
Troilos and Chrysida- Dimitris Skourtis & Chrysianna Karameri // Theater

Troilus and Chrysida

A work by William Shakespeare, not so well known, based on the well-known myth of the Trojan War to build its story on a dipole, war and love. Shakespeare here deconstructs these absolute notions and lands them in reality, transforming them from heroism to thrashing and thirst for power, and from love to lustful love. The smallest but also the most structural dipoles that appear in the work, caused us to converse with them, to remind us of the human mortal character and how relevant such a text is, creating the desire to condense a work on stage many persons through two bodies, two voices, two people.

Playback Theater- Playback Nuevo // Spontaneous Theater

A playback performance is based on the stories that the audience spontaneously shares at the same time while the actors transform them dramatically on stage. In this way the spectators cease to be mere spectators but become actors of the show. Sharing stories creates a climate of unity and connection that develops a sense of belonging.

Ilikinia- Vasiliki Nomidou // Performance

in a forest…. a city.. …

We hear a tale about a creature – a child, like the echo of childhood through time
We see the path of another creature – woman, as memories are retrieved from the body
the two stories touch each other, walk parallel and the two creatures meet in their search
the reason belongs to the child.

A story about the loss of innocence, trauma and the search for identity. The performance is based on physical theater and is inspired by butoh. He attempts to build an artistic, symbolic environment, where the two heroes will exist.

The Red Hat – Sweet Herring // Theatrical Improvisation

“Sweet Herring” is a group of people, who with their tremendous energy, inexhaustible enthusiasm and love for comic theatrical improvisation have managed to erase in recent years a very successful course of performances, but also to make improvisation, a way life in their daily lives.

They are the creators of a theatrical performance that is prepared and performed at the time it is presented to the public. There is no pre-arrangement. Everything is created on stage on the occasion of the proposals of the audience. The spectators are the ones who give the ideas and the theme that will inspire the actors to construct each scene that will be presented.

Vombiri, I. Trovas, Kl. Hatzigianni and E. Christodoulaki are the improvised actors who create the play.

At the Bridge – Violation // Theater of the Absurd

Three characters, representing an entire society, stand on the edge of a broken bridge. The transition from one piece to the next is difficult, with the sea surrounding them from everywhere. Their problem is common, but not everyone’s motivation, their goal, and the answers they seek to three questions: What do we expect from God? What do we expect from our neighbor? What do we expect from ourselves? Not necessarily in this order.

Hidden Woe- Tou Senpleman // Theater

Andreas Karkavitsa’s short story was written in 1885 and was first published on October 26 of the same year, in the magazine Evdomas entitled “O Chrysanthos”.

Before the outbreak of the Greek Revolution of 1821 there was a need for men for the liberation of the nation. The last hope of a large family to offer a member to the revolution dies with the birth of another female. The father decides to raise the girl as a boy. Chrysi becomes Chrysantos and makes an offer to the revolution.

The work focuses on the position of women and the possibility of choice. A father conveys his need to his daughter. The daughter is able to satisfy her father’s need, leaving behind her own wants, so that in the end she does not recognize if her desires are really hers. What happens when love appears? Is a girl capable of going against her nature to fulfill her father’s wishes? And the father’s side is the right of everyone to fight for freedom by any means at their disposal.

XXY- Aniline Dancetheatre // Contemporary dance duet

The show is inspired by the xx and xy chromosomes, which differentiate and determine gender. Images and movement are built on their different appearances, the duality they create in the world as we know it, but also in the human body. The approach is based on the similarities and differences that occur during the development of these two chromosomes, as well as their coexistence and conflict in nature, but also in society.

The duo uses modern dance and contact-partnering kinetic forms, as well as elements of physical theater, and experiments with the relation of body movement in relation to sound and its quietness, contact and absence.

Two people, two bodies. A man and a woman. A dance. They are born, they move, they interact. Same and different at the same time. They meet, they enter each other’s space. They are dancing. The first reconnaissance moves and the chances of their contact. Sometimes they cooperate, sometimes they clash. Which similarities and differences are actually genetic and which are acquired? And what effect does this duality have?

Everywhere- A(r)CT // Dance

A piece based on improvisation, where the dancers are invited to converse and compose the space they are spontaneously in, creating a unique experience with choreographers and the spectators themselves. A piece that draws elements from our daily lives by copying and magnifying paths, emotions, relationships and characters.

Approve-all- Giolika Poulopoulou // Performance (60 ‘)

a repetitive hit,
– a repetitive sound

Its purpose: the prolonged expression of acceptance, approval, reward.
instrument: palms, hands
object: the mirror
duration: longer than usual.
rhythm: usual
dynamic: usual
a man- the living sculpture
seeks conscious (co) existence: conversation,
recognition, self-reward, complement, harmonization, unit,
exposure, self-esteem

He chooses a repetitive action (usually done en masse) to reward himself. Commonly accepted collective action becomes individual. And this is because the confirmation does not come only from the sets. The spectators-participants can record the reasons why they themselves want the reward and accept it personally from the performer or from themselves.

Circo show

“Date in the Courtyard”. As part of the Handmade & Recycled Theater Festival, inoculated and in parallel, in the yard of the Fabrica Artspace from 1/10 to 8/10 there will be a small festival of street spectacles.

Circus, puppets, artistic performance, object manipulation etc. Participating artists: Pomet, Pepe and Koko, Baruti, Cristian, Ozen, Popoman, Alvaro.
On the last day, Sunday 8/10, there will be a Variete / Party with free participation of artists.

MUSIC
for the poor relatives! – Dimitris Karousos // Music

This is what I humorously call: one man band show!

Simultaneously with guitar, voice and accordion there will be pre-recorded instruments that determine the style and style of the pieces.

I will present the pieces I have made in the 3 poems of Kostas Karyotakis, in lyrics by Aleko Panagoulis, in lyrics by the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darouis and pieces with lyrics of my own.

See you on stage…
Keep on rockin in the free world

WORKSHOPS
Open course Swing -Lindy Hop- Rhythm Hoppers

Rhythm Hoppers (Augustinos Tran & Vasia Panagiotou) is a group created to spread the authentic Swing dances developed in the 20s-40s in America and danced to Swing music (Classic Jazz).

Lindy Hop belongs to the Swing family and was developed in the late ’20s in New York with influences from Authentic Jazz Dance, Tap, Breakaway and Charleston. Although he was born in the Savoy Ballroom to African American dancers, he later became quite popular, appeared in several areas and was danced by many different groups of people. Having rhythm as its main feature, it gives dancers the opportunity to be inspired by Jazz music and improvise in listening to it. For this reason, although specific 6-count and 8-count movements are often repeated, each dance can differ significantly, depending on the style and personality of the dancers. In the test lesson, we will listen to swing music and learn the first steps by singing rhythms. We will also talk about posture, bounce and an introduction to partner dance.

Sculpture workshop – Evangelos Kapralos

Sculpture workshop for the construction of clay characters,

that express ourselves and decorate it around him

our neck. Tools to be used: clay, colors and imagination

African Dance- Sissy Pintela // Workshop

The objectives of the course are the acquaintance and awareness of our body, the control of our gravity as well as our contact with the floor and its energy. We study kinesiology from traditional dances of West Africa and more specifically from Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. We come in contact with percussions and different rhythms, we work as a group, we express ourselves, we release ourselves, we have fun, we sweat and most of all we discover and share new emotions.

Actor: Voice & Song – Christina Tsimpra

The participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to learn what are the appropriate “tools” to use their VOICE correctly, for their maximum performance in Auditions, Examinations and Performances.

The workshop is addressed to actors and students of Drama Schools. They should have the song or excerpt from the role they are preparing in 2 copies with them, and wear the clothes they use for their auditions or for their role.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga- Vassilis Georgosopoulos

Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic yoga system. The first references to it are in 200 BC. It has been brought to the modern world by Sri K Pattaphi Jois (1915-2009). A key feature of this yoga method is the synchronization of breathing and movement. Ashtanga practice is performed in a series, with progressive difficulty, from positions (asanas) in combination with breathing (ujjai). A process that detoxifies the body, aligns the body, offering us a flexible, light, strong body and a calm mind.

Program:
Day 1 (2 hours): Historical background / Philosophy / Practice (guided lesson)
Day 2 (2 hours): Ashtanga Yoga Physiology / The Role of Breathing / Practice (Guided Lesson)

The seminar is aimed at beginners who want to get acquainted with this traditional type of yoga, but also to those who already have a relevant experience in Ashtanga or some other type of yoga.

It’s just… words // Theatrical play for adults- Angeliki Kalisperi, Angeliki Gousgoula (Skou… and I’m leaving!)

“-Come, do not be afraid are just words, words that you read every day, words that you pass, words that you hear and that you do not say, words that you left behind and words that you will not find again”

Our goal is for the participants to “play” with words from our daily vocabulary by placing them on a different basis and giving them a new linguistic meaning. Will a newspaper with such linguistic material be the occasion to create another character? And what if these characters get involved?

And the game again from the beginning.
-Skoo!
-and I’m leaving!

Pacuigo Puppets // Children’s puppet and puppet theater workshop – Giovanna Michaliadi Sarti, Silvana Sarti (DuoNino)

Actor and Cinema – Eugenia Papageorgiou, Serafeim Arkomanis

In this workshop we will make an introduction to the course ‘Actor and Cinema’. The course ‘Actor and Cinematographer’ concerns anyone who deals or wants to deal with acting in television and cinema, but also those whose profession is related to the existence of a camera such as directors, journalists, presenters, etc.

Through these practical courses the participants have the opportunity, among others:
To become acquainted, through practice, with the ‘language’ of cinema.
To apply exercises for improving the means of expression (movement, speech), which serve the acting on camera, as well as exercises for the preparation of the actor before the shooting.
Directors to discover or improve the way they direct their instructions to the actors during filming.
Understand the importance of concentrating and controlling the means of expression in front of the camera.

Micro-movement // Expression in cinema- Maria Stefanidou (M.O.V.A)

In this seminar we will work with our expressive and physical potential through free expression, with complementary axes specific techniques of kinesiology, improvisation and physical theater. We will develop our basic tools in order to deconstruct and reduce their use as a basic means of expression in the art of cinema in the context of micro-acting. Releasing and enlarging our authentic movement is a key research pillar for understanding and mastering our micro-movement.

Workshop presentation: Maria Stefanidou – Actor

Explore it // Experimentation in the performing arts- Fabrica Lab, Tzovanna Michaliadis Sarti

Explore it is for everyone an experimental encounter with themselves and the outside world. An encounter with the world of magic, of the here and now, where everything is repeated and participates in the understanding of existence, in the consciousness of actions and in the process of creation.

It is an effort through experimentation and repetition to discover, deepen and develop practices and techniques around and through the performing arts, such as circo, theater, yoga and dance. To touch hidden chords of body, spirit and soul that will play new music as one. A circular space and time that, in the linearity of reality, invites us to act, while friction will help us find or invent points of contact – moments of balance.

Guided by the triptych of the experimental process – observation, experiment, result – we aim at restoring peace and eliminating the internal and external noises that we produce. The teacher-student boundaries and the concept of respect are redefined and everyone acquires a dual role. We develop our individuality, but also ways to contribute with our diversity to the team.

Hoopdance & Yoga- Fabrica Lab, Tzovanna Michaliadis Sarti

We seize the opportunity to dance, meditate and express ourselves, with a hula hoop.

Hoopdance is the dance with the wreath. We explore motion with an object outside of us and discover the possibilities of our own motion. We learn basic steps, but also advanced tricks so that we can then break them down and create our own kinesiology that stems from the rhythm of our lives and exceed our limits. Dancing with the wreath we are constantly looking for union with it, in order to achieve union with ourselves. We find the flow in motion with the cycle and the flow of our own energy. It is a different approach and a different way to find balance and harmonize with our inner and outer world. It takes willpower, patience and an appetite for life. The workshop will introduce basic principles, depending on the level of each.
The 2 hours of the workshop include:
-Yoga and HoopYoga
-Basic principles of Hoopdance and tricks (based on the level of each participant)
-Move exploration / Hoop Jam
The workshop is addressed to all levels. Personal work will be done with each participant.

Plan, shoot and wrap // Introduction to audiovisual narration – Nikos Stampoulopoulos (M.O.V.A)

At a time when every mobile phone has a camera, it takes only a few means to shoot your own movie, whether it is fiction or a documentary. But like all languages, the language of cinema has its own grammatical rules. Some of these rules can be broken, but only if one has first learned to handle the language properly. Although it is a language that we all use every day as spectators, few of us know it well enough to be able to turn a story into animation.

Laboratory presentation: Nikos Stampoulopoulos – Cinematographer

Are we dancing? // Seminar of dance, improvisation, theatrical play (ages 5-10 & 18+) – Eleni Papaioannou

These seminars are based on the idea that our body needs movement and seek to cultivate a sense of freedom and the ability to keep up with our body through dance. Combining improvisation, group games and technical exercises we will focus on fast movement and movement in space, effectively using the flow of energy in and out of our body as well as in relation to those around us.

Research Theater Part 1 // Research Theater – Fabrica Lab, Fanis Katechos

Research theater is a way for those looking to get in touch with the art of theater through themselves and the team. It is a continuous exploration of the already existing theatrical methods towards the acquisition of maneuvering and global knowledge and the shaping of the personal, but also group method that will free the human artist from the visible and invisible masks of everyday life. Finding the method that will make him capable to be present in the here and now on stage, but also in life.

Through this wandering we gradually strengthen our body, we watch the memory it has, while walking in its paths we find our true voice, as it comes out as it is through emotional vibrations.

This process aims to give participants the supplies to transform into plasticine people, who will have the ability to adapt to all kinds of conditions. Transformation into multi-tools that have the physical, mental and spiritual power to create an entire universe with whatever weapons they have, more or less.

Writing a children’s book // Interactive workshop of children’s literature- Lili Gati (M.O.V.A)

Literature is a wonderful art. And as an art, it has its techniques. In these techniques, then, we will be guided in creative writing lessons, not to be trapped in boxes, but to get out of them completely.

Laboratory presentation: Lili Gati- Author

Contact Improvisation– Vassilis Georgosopoulos

The C.I. is an improvised form of dance, based on the communication of two bodies that are in physical contact and the relationship they have with the natural laws of movement (gravity, inertia, momentum). flow of traffic. Practically we lead to a spontaneous dialogue of two bodies that includes rolling, falling, lifting, while the partners support each other.

The seminar will introduce the basic principles of C.I .: movement in space, directions, levels, weight games, rolling, sliding, balancing forces, flow support.

Colors… The moment some of them “throw” us, others can lightning fast make our heart beat like crazy… Some of these reactions have a biological basis, others stem from personal experiences.

In the second part of the seminar we will explore how colors affect our thinking, our soul, our emotion and consequently, the temple on which all this rests, the body. Guided by the imagination, we will set in motion colors that affect us, colors taken from our childhood memories, which are important to us and with their help we will dare to connect with others.

The seminar is addressed to anyone who has a basic contact with traffic.

We make our own toy world // Workshop for making toys from recyclable materials – Lydia Xourafi, Faye Ioannidou (Color Play)

What does he dream of becoming a plastic bottle? What can a cardboard box be transformed into? How can a newspaper change shape? We learn to recycle materials and express our feelings differently. With our imagination, we put together pieces that seem useless, we decorate them, and suddenly a whole colorful world of toys unfolds in front of us. In the workshop, children will experiment with recyclable materials and with the help of children’s fairy tales and theatrical exercises will expand their imagination and together we will compose our own fantasy stories.

The actor / performer and theatrical practice – Eugenia Papageorgiou

What does actor / performer mean and what do we mean when we say theatrical practice? How can an actor / performer work his part on his own, so that he is more prepared for the rehearsal and more open to directing? We will discuss these concepts and work on practical exercises from various acting techniques and methods. These exercises are based on targeted speech and kinesiological improvisation. They enhance concentration and clear communication and help strengthen team spirit and cooperation. They can be used by the actor when working on a role, activating the senses and body parts, to highlight aspects of a stage character.

It is addressed to anyone interested!

DISCUSSION

Decomposition, an insidious enemy of the Theater, a discussion about the theater- Rapporteur: Costas Dalianis

Theater is constantly changing, as is life. And this is necessary and necessary, in order to be able to reflect and comment on the new conditions, the new data, the new anxieties of humanity. New works, new forms, new approaches, constant renewal in the tools of our art.

However, more and more often nowadays, the theater deviates from its main goals and turns into a den of vanity of the artists (mainly the directors) where their purpose is not to tell a story, respecting the author and the work, but to project shamelessly inflated, inflated their “EGO”, trampling on theatrical works, indiscriminately harassing the authors’ texts, using their works solely to shine themselves with their “amazing” ideas, their “shocking” findings, and their “divine” talent.

The presentation will be followed by a discussion and questions will be answered as much as possible.

Humorous construction market – Anastasia Voutsa

Using materials and objects that are easy to use and everyday, such as bags, magnets, key chains, bookmarks, pins, jewelry and a variety of other items, Anastasia and her Neo-logisms try to introduce you to the alternative, light and if not humorous of our daily moments.

Diy jewel- Meliti Giamali (ME OH MY), Nadia Skiathitou (Tsiki Tsiki Crafts)

ME OH MY: Old school tattoo, vintage, candies, tiny pearls, enamel, recyclable materials, are mixed, creating a collection of simple everyday jewelry that focuses on the simple, arbitrary and special style that reflects the mood of the moment.

Photography, painting, clip art, unexpected materials are highlighted with the technique of cold glazing. Metal bars and elements, chains, cords, beads complement each other.

Tsiki Tsiki Crafts: What is worth more? A fallen anchor? A butterfly on a cat’s tail? A wise seahorse? What is a blue lobster looking for next to a bat in love? What do a forest nymph and an invincible superhero have in common?

A journey into the land of strange creatures, where sly cats, night creatures, sea creatures, dragons and fairies, witches live… and where objects can have magical properties… a flying carpet, a rolling ring, a robot, a needle that transforms the fabric… where a fearless heroine acts, an adventurous prince who in the end always triumphs overcoming all dangers and trials.

Love, transcendental, ordeal, transformation, everything meets, everything has a place in these journeys that never end.

Handmade jewelry with recyclable materials – Maria Papadopoulou, Evangelia Papalexandratou (HandMary)

Recycling and reuse of materials significantly helps to reduce waste, which is one of the most serious and constantly aggravating environmental problems. Recyclable materials and reusable materials are popular materials for our creations.

They can be easily found and as creators we are called to give a second life cycle to these materials, turning them into new objects through the renegotiation of their use. The result of all these processes is the creation of accessories with our own aesthetics and our personal stamp.
