GNO on Skiathos

This year the GNO Learning & Participation Department is returning to Skiathos with an educational programme aimed at the island’s secondary education schools. The goal of this year’s series of workshops, which will last throughout April, is to quickly introduce children to the process of preparing a music theatre performance. This will be achieved through their meaningful collaboration with music professionals and active involvement in the rehearsals. During this creative journey, children will work together and co-create, sing, play, and learn how to interact with the audience.

The programme will come complete with the creation and presentation of an interactive musical performance featuring traditional folk and modern Greek songs, music and body percussion. The performance will take place on 26 April, at a venue that will be announced soon. The songs that will be heard in the performance will have been worked upon during the programme, and will revolve around themes like love, goals, dreams, and the beauty of youthful pursuits.

Planning, implementation: Antonis Vasileiadis (European percussion teacher, composer, music producer, performer), Giorgos Kasavetis (percussion composer)
