1. THEATER GAMES for CHILDREN aged 4-12
Theatrical play classes at the Experimental Stage (Peiramatiki Skini) of Kalamata open their arms again to the children. Theater game animators with years of experience and knowledge, with patience and love for children, teach theatrical improvisations, imitation, physical expression, Orthophonic exercises, concentration and relaxation, creative games and visual constructions.
Through the theatrical game, the children work collectively, realize their relationship, both with themselves and with the group. Their participation in these courses brings them into contact with what we call art and culture.
It is a form of self-awareness, spiritual and mental cultivation and physical exercise.
We teach children how to play theater, listen to fairy tales, dramatize stories, make puppets, animate their own heroes and play puppet theater!
We are waiting for them to "unlock" their imagination and fly together to fairy-tale worlds!
