Since 2000, the Experimental Stage of Kalamata<\/a> created an adult puppet theater group and started organizing puppet shows. At the same time, the artistic group of the association started to organize puppet making workshops, to embody the heroes of the first performances. Then members of the group (artisans) were trained in corresponding seminars and led the effort of learning and other friends in the construction and animation of a theater doll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These groups were open to everyone and were attended by many interested parties, mainly teachers, unemployed and pensioners. In addition to the theater doll, other interesting things to learn were added, such as theater education seminars for adults and various visual handicraft techniques (cloth dolls and toys, patchwork technique, papier m\u00e2ch\u00e9, decoupage, constructions with metal, wood, glass, paper, fabric).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these creative and educational actions offered a strong motivation to all of them (in the majority women) to train in creative techniques of making handicrafts unknown to them, to fill their time constructively, but also to participate in social creative gatherings. An important benefit of these workshops for many of the participants is the knowledge gained, through the transmission of creative experience from old members of our association to the new members, in terms of solving, even partially, financial and professional problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can document the workshops in the time of their organization, before 2017 when the Puppet Theater Festival started and after. During the Festivals most workshops had professional puppeteers and puppeteers as instructors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are starting the recording of the most important seminars-workshops held for children and adults. We clarify that the seminars are more theoretical in nature, while the workshops also include the field of construction and therefore last longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2004 – 2016<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first two workshops held were aimed at children accompanied by parents. They took place September 24-26, 2004<\/strong> in Kalamata as part of the three-day theater festival entitled \"Theatre Walks in the City Streets\"<\/strong> organized by the Experimental Stage of Kalamata in collaboration with the PANTUM street theater group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One had the theme of \"manufacturing handmade musical instruments\"<\/strong> and a musical event with the children in the park of the Railways, and the second workshop<\/strong> took place in the \"Panellinion\" area of the port, it was visual in nature and \"theatrical masks\" were made in the traditional way and painted by children with the help of adults. Over 60 people, young and old, took part in both workshops. The experience was unique for this and they repeated themselves many times within the framework of the theatrical game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2004<\/strong> and 2005<\/strong>, after a trip to Prague, the city of puppets, and on the occasion of the performances that were staged in those years, \"Land of the birds\"<\/strong> and \"The love of the swan\"<\/strong>, we attempted with the puppet theater group to make goofy dolls which impressed the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, experimenting with various materials and techniques, we decided to do the first big and open workshop of making and animating theatrical glove puppets<\/strong> in public for adults in 2008, fulfilling the wish of many friends, mainly teachers, who showed interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
