From 25 to 30 of August 2017, the Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network holds its 16th annual Theatre Summer Camp- Seminar at Agios Ioannis Beach, Mt Pelion, Greece.
We stay and work in the friendly and relaxing environment of a well organized campsite, by the sea.
Artists, teachers, educators, actors, musicians, visual artists, theatre practitioners and scholars share their stories and communicate using as a medium/tool several theatrical techniques whilst investigating their application in education.
This year the Camp also hosts the 8th "Young Theatre Voices 2017" camp for young people (13-18 years old) and a Children's Workshop (6-12yrs)
The Camp-Seminar includes practical theatre & drama workshops, story-telling night by the camp fire, project presentations, performances, activities in the area (hiking, tours etc.) physical exercise, swimming, free time and a farewell party.
Pelion Camp 2017 also hosts the Project:
"It could be me - It could be you"
The refugee issues and their impact on education of young children in particular will be approach though discussions, workshops and a Forum Theatre performance by members of the “it could be me-it could be you” project run by the Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network (TENet-Gr) and UNHCR Greece (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees)
The location:
Agios Ioannis is a seaside village 55 km from Volos Town, on Eastern Mt. Pelio, Central Greece, located in an idyllic place. Its unique, blue flagged beach, with pearl like pebbles, is the main attraction of the village, which offers many choices of accommodation and catering. Agios Ioannis has turned into a well-organized tourist resort because of the infrastructure developed in the village and the wider area during the last 20 years. Additionally, one of the advantages of the village is the fact that it is located close to the most famous mountain villages of Eastern Pelion and between the famous beaches of Plaka and Papa Nero.

Developing argument through drama
Brendon Burns
Language: english
This workshop will explore ways theatre processes can be used to develop and refine agonistic responses to current social and political contexts. Sessions will cover devising and performance techniques drawn from both contemporary Theatre for Democracy practice and ancient rhetoric.
The workshop will also include a focus on facilitation techniques that can be used in situations where discourse may become polemical; on those occasion where participants adopt extreme positions, often regurgitated from the media, but that in fact often mask real fears and insecurity.
Brendon Burns is an experienced director and facilitator. He has led major participatory and educational theatre projects in the UK, Europe and in West Africa. He trained as an actor at the Arts Educational School, London and later undertook postgraduate study in Theatre in Education at the University of Middlesex and Rhetoric at Royal Holloway University of London. Brendon was previously artistic director of Solent Peoples Theatre, Indefinite Article and First Draft Theatre and also held associate director posts at Proteus Theatre and The Haymarket, Basingstoke. As a playwright, he has written numerous original plays and adaptions, including the first conventional theatre adaptations of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Brendon is currently director of the department of Applied Theatre and Community Drama at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
From individual to collective:
Building social theatre performances based on the Theater of the Oppressed
Christina Zoniou
At the Theatrical Camp 2017, at this transcendental gathering of educators and artists in Agios Ioannis, Pelion, under the sounds of the river and the plane trees, the workshop will deal with a theme that often comes back to the demands of the campers: the Theatre of the Oppressed (TO).
The aim of the workshop is to introduce the participants in TO, a theatrical method established by the Brazilian director Augusto Boal, which is widely applied in various social, educational and therapeutic environments. The TO method, which includes techniques such as Forum Theatre, Image Theater, Invisible Theatre, Rainbow of Desire, aspires to transform the stage monologue into dialogue and interaction between the stage and the audience, in order to explore collectively and individually the possibilities of overcoming Oppression and the achievement of social change.
This workshop aims to develop a knowledge of the ways in which theatre is used in social, non-theatrical environments and marginal spaces to benefit, empower and inspire a wide range of groups, communities and individuals. Special attention will be paid to the understanding of principles, peculiarities and techniques, and to the identification of the "traps" in the choice of TO as a method of intervention by artists - facilitators in their field of activity.
The workshop will end with an interactive TO event at the camp site.
“Making That Journey From Paper to Stage”
Barbara Douka, director, actress, trainer
Language: Greek
The texts ‘’lie’’ until we 'live' them ...
In this workshop participants will be invited to give life to different texts:
1. A choral and a scene from Ancient Greek Drama
2. Literary texts and poems
3. A story that will emerge from improvisation, with or without text
Interact through ideas, within a framework, and find ways to present them on different stages, in open space.
Approaching different theatre genres, we will learn some principles of directing, starting from a basic motive: the need to communicate ideas and meanings.
Our inspiration comes from the lively material we have next to us: landscapes, people, gatherings, dialogues, questions…
but also from what we have inside us: imagination, experience, personal glance, wants….

"Personal dance"
Artemis Lampiri, choreographer, performer, dance teacher.
MAIN WORKSHOP "PELION 2017"
Language: Greek, English, body, any...
Personal dance is a workshop about finding one’s special qualities;
it is about discovering what makes one unique.
In this workshop we will try to investigate our own physicality and personality in the way that we move. Through choreographic and movement scores we will focus on our personal rhythm, perception and way of thinking.
Usually one’s body function is connected to the one of one’s brain.
This gives an excellent insight to the way of learning.
The class will be divided in warming up the joints and brain, making the body stronger, learning dance material and improvising our own way through movement.
Bring sneakers, comfortable clothes, notebooks and your favorite song at that period!
Artemis Lampiri was born in Athens in 1984 where she now works as a choreographer, performer and dance teacher. She studied at the Professional School of Dance "Rallou Manou”, later choreography at ArtEZ in Holland and Theatre Studies at the University of Utrecht with a full scholarship by the State Foundation (IKY). As a choreographer she has participated in festivals and made her own productions in theaters in Greece, Germany, Croatia, the Netherlands and Spain. Some of the productions are: “On hope” (2016), “Me On Top” with the support of Onassis Cultural Centre and NEON foundation (2015), “FREMD” (2014), “META” (2013-2014), "Anamesa-In Between" (2012-2013) etc. In 2013 she founded “MAN” dance company with which she participated in Kalamata International dance Festival (2016), New Choreographers’ Festival in SGT (2015), Arc dance festival (2014), MIR Festival (2012-2016), Dimitria Festival (2013) etc. She is also working as a choreographer at theatre productions and currently creating her new piece, entitled: “ANY ONE”

THE GRAMMAR OF DIVERSITY
I play - You play - Does the Other Play? - What about us? What are We going to do?
Angeliki Tsakona, drama teacher
We are going to spell out and interpret the forms of the mind and the shape of our body – and the creations of our mind and those of our body. We are going to achieve this within dual realities, the one that belongs to us (I) and the one we share (I and the Other).
Experiential play and imagination along with drama techniques will motivate children physically, verbally and emotionally, bringing them closer to their own selves. At the same time, cultivating the children’s empathy and strengthening their communication skills will promote team spirit - thus drawing them nearer to the Other and helping them realize who ‘We’ are.
Angeliki Tsakona has been oscillating between Philology and Theater Studies for quite some time. Since 2002, she has been teaching Theatre/Drama Education in Primary Education. She is currently following a postgraduate course entitled “Drama and Performing Arts in Education and Lifelong Learning” offered by the Department of Theatre Studies in Nafplio Greece.

"Bringing a text to life through video"
Mary Kaldi
A 3 hours workshop. Sunday 27/8/2017, 17:30-20:30
Language: greek, english
In this workshop we will learn how to make a video with the aim of animating a certain text. Initially, theatrical exercises will take place, in order to get the participants acquainted, but also to help them feel released in front of the camera. Then, we will study the phases of creating a video, with emphasis on how to use different angles to record properly a narrator reading a text. At the same time, we will investigate which other elements can complement the framing of the narrative, so that it is not monotonous. Elements, such as images or videos that visualize the text and the appropriate music. Finally, basic editing techniques will be explained using a specific video editor (Powerdirector).
Our starting point will be “Monologues from the Aegean”. Participants may come having already chosen a text from the testimonies, so that we can use it as the basis for our video. They can also bring with them music they see suitable as the accompaniment of the video.
Camcorders, cameras and mobile phones would be very useful. If any of the participants could bring a laptop with them, the editing work can be speeded up.

Revolution Slogans: civil rights, human rights and… ways to acquire them.
Georgina Kakoudaki, director /theatre pedagogue
A 6hour workshop
Sunday 27 & Monday 28/8/2017, 17:30-20:30
Language: greek
A theatre workshop inspired by the way with which civil and human rights have been declared and promoted by the people over the centuries. In this workshop we will seek new ways to make a statement, to say our opinion privately or publicly, through theatre and theatre pedagogic methods, the use of biography and the ‘’staged’’ recollection of "heroic times". From the famous words of Enlightment to the graffiti messages on city walls, whether provocative, encoded, public or private, these messages can remind us the victories or the defeats of peoples' struggle throughout the history of humanity.
In this workshop we will also try another way to approach Public celebrations and memorial dates in school class, and through school theatre, to talk about heroism in non heroic times.

Vocal Shelf-awareness
Anastasia Koulaloglou
A 3 hours workshop. Monday 28/8/2017, 17:30-20:30
Language: greek, english
The purpose of “Phonitiki Psychognosia” (Vocal Shelf-awareness) is the discovery of the personal, authentic voice which we have had since childhood so that sound, speech and song will form again a source of joy and creativity. The method is inspired mainly by Roy Hart’s principles and is enriched from basic elements of theatrical anthropology that was founded by Jerzy Grotowski. The workshop introduces ways and methods of the Chinese and Hindu traditions in sound and energy centers, whose task is a more spiritual approach to song, speech and communication. In practice it has been shown that the use of calm breathing exercises for the liberation of the respiratory system leads to a calmer nervous system. Further, the use of specific sounds or mantras leads to a feeling of safety and it might be a way for the student to get in contact with his/her inner feelings. All this leads to the enfolding of the individuals’ creative capabilities, while courage and self confidence are empowered at the same time. Discover the creative power of your hidden voice through sound, speech and singing exercises!
Bring a song or small text of your choice.
