SEMINAR ‘DONNA’

At Palmos dance school of Andrianis Maroulis, Kalvoy 78, town.                                                                                                               On Saturday AND Sunday, 23rd & 24th March, at 17.00. As part of the Seminars of Performing Arts organized by the school.

Women of any age over 10 years old, are invited to a three-hour seminar-dialogue on the shades of the female dimension. Aim, to choose a collaboration for the realization of artistic representation to be held in early June.

The show will involve speech-motion-song always below the axis of constant interaction with a specific work of art. Participation does not necessarily require any previous professional experience. Instead, it needs a personal opening to look at the position of the woman through the perspective of the participants in terms of gender, role, human WOMAN. And that’s because the show and actions will arise from our personal elements-concerns.

For participation and better cooperation, those interested need to register by giving contact details, by 15th March. Finally, it will be necessary for the participants to have prepared a poem (1-5 lines) and a song (1 couple or one refrain if not whole) for use as tools.
