Open call for participation in the experiential art workshops “Composition and Inclusion” and the educational seminars “Τhe Aesthetics of Accessibility”

The Learning & Participation Department of the Greek National Opera invites adults with or without disabilities, who love performance arts and seek chances for artistic creation, to the experiential art workshops “Composition and Inclusion”. Based on the principles of inclusion and accessibility, participants will form groups of 20 persons and making use of their personal and spontaneous expression, as well as their personal experiences, they will be called upon to combine, through a collective process, the arts of theatre, music, and dance and to create their own original music theatre performance. Structured improvisation, a plethora of specialised exercises and games, movement, rhythm, music and speech are the workshops’ components, which will motivate participants to express themselves, share, feel and be taught through equitable participation in the creative process.

Part of the experiential workshops, as well as the entire original music theatre performance that will result from the workshops will be filmed, so as to capture and bring out the importance of inclusive practices in developing artistic skills and encouraging artistic creation.
