Short WORKSHOP

 Travel in my Mind: an invitation and a challenge

Maria Pavlidi

3 hours, Language Greek

In this workshop we will use the fundamental principle “support my teammate while at the same time being supported by him/her.” Through games and improvisation based on physical theatre and clown techniques, we will aim to get closer, physically as well as spiritually. We will work in groups and in pairs in order to create our own scenarios, stories, lyrics and songs. We will make an effort to listen to the other and work on what they offer us. Liberated from our Ego, we will try to offer our teammate what they want.

Only imagine doing this in real life....
