A range of educational programmes, from one- off, bespoke workshops to longer term residencies in drama, performance and creation of immersive environments in schools and community/cultural centres. Founded in drama principles, the design of participatory practice with children and communities extends into performance art practices and supports the development of a new awareness of being in the world under principles of solidarity and interconnection.
Projects with communities of the Greek diaspora (Omogenia) based in the UK, particularly extend to artistic explorations of cultural content spanning Greek literature, music, imagery, and the aesthetics and poetics of traditional practices of everyday life. The projects operate as mediums of artistic exploration, cultural education and engagement with the Greek traditional heritage for both children and adults.
