Project Description

Participatory Theatre to honour our common fabric and our individual stories

21-22 November 2020

The online workshop will propose experiential activities, games, scenes that will invite us to an embodied and imaginative exploration. Connecting with our body and emotions, we will explore through our interactions the common fabric in which we move and co-create it at the same time, each from our different positions.

The group process will take place in the separate “boxes” of Zoom, exploring how as “boxes”/Individuals we are parts of an organism that we form/transform, and at the same acknowledging and honouring what each individual brings: stories, emotions, dreams. The exploration will include elements of Theatre for Living and Playback Theatre.

The workshop is organized in the context of the congress “Climate change and pandemics: the systemic cooperative practice in the Anthropocene era”, organized by the Hellenic Federation of Systemic Therapy and Family Therapy and the Systemic Organization of Northern Greece.
