Summer Theatre Immersion in Greece<\/h5>\n
Theatre Connections 4, Fabrica Athens’ summer theatrical immersion returns to Methoni, Messinia and invites artists from all over the world.<\/h6>\n

We warmly invite you to participate in Theatre Connections 4, a theater workshop held August 1st through August 12th in the beautiful seaside village of Methoni, Peloponnese, Greece. Theatre Connections is a 12-day theatre immersion facilitated by Fanis Katehos and Giovanna Michaliadi Sarti of the Multi-active Group of Art \u2013 Fabrica Athens.<\/p>\n

A group of Greek and international participants will coalesce and embark on a shared journey of interaction with the environment and its people through theatrical training. Participants inspired by the place will devise a performance to be shared with local residents and visitors in Methoni.<\/p>\n

The Theater Workshop \u2013 Methods & Goals<\/h6>\n

The structure of Theater Connections is designed to support participants in connecting with Methoni and its people through the exploration of theater, their own inner worlds, and nature. This workshop is open to interested individuals of all levels of experience. The theater training entailed full engagement of body and soul. We seek participants with a willingness and a desire to enjoy themselves by challenging their own unique limits.<\/p>\n

The Theater of Research is the theatrical practice developed by Fabrica Athens which serves as the foundational base for the workshop. It has been in evolution since 2012, and uses original techniques that draw upon the methods of Jerzy Grotowski, Konstantin Stanislavski, Eugenio Barba, Giles Foreman, Suzan Batson, Augusto Boal, Kitt Johnson and Tadashi Suzuki. The practice is used for the training of actors and performers, and also as a tool of Applied Theater in penitentiaries, youth exchange programs, immigrant camps, and more. It adapts its techniques to every group in order to achieve a liberating and transformative experience each time.<\/p>\n

Cultural Week<\/h6>\n

As teammates, participants will also take on artist, facilitator, and audience roles in a festive week of free cultural activities in Methoni curated by Fabrica Athens. Activities such as yoga, fire shows, circus workshops, and screenings are part of this organized cultural week. All of these activities connect participants to the landscape and the people of Methoni, and give participants experience in known and unknown realms.<\/p>\n

Tours, Excursions & Special moments<\/h6>\n

In addition to the training and the cultural events, participants can enjoy morning swims after yoga at the sea\u2019s edge (or even a night swim if they would like to close their days this way as well). They will also have the opportunities to travel to beautiful islands off the coast of Methoni, to visit the medieval Methoni castle (which is surrounded by water on three sides) and to learn about one of the first schools of mutual education in Greece. They will hear from local teachers and communities about Methoni\u2019s history and will enjoy delicious summer meals together. They may even find themselves sharing coffee and stories with a neighbor. Methoni is known to enchant and delight its visitors.<\/p>\n

In addition to this meal, participants may enjoy the high-quality restaurants and taverns within walking distance, with great options for those with dietary lifestyles and restrictions of all kinds. Participants may also choose to cook some of their meals in the shared kitchens. There are grocery stores and small markets with fresh produce available daily.<\/p>\n
