“This is my home
And from his threshold extends a sweet wound
Beyond the old courtyards of the neighborhood
Beyond the inelegant facades of the apartment buildings
Beyond closed boxes
Beyond the inhospitables of the parks
Beyond the apnea of the fugaras
A wound remains open
Which unites me with the world”
D. Hatzipanagiotidis
DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOPS
- Felt making workshopNamad” and Create a collective project.
The ketche-felt manufacturing process has historically been the oldest form of fabric manufacturing. The making of the ketche involves the use of natural materials (sheep and goat wool, water and soap) and is a collective and potentially therapeutic process. The stencil forms that we will create in the fabrication workshop will be composed into a single collective work – canvas. This canvas will become the occasion to dance landscapes of our imagination and imprint them on it, using colors of mineral materials.
Coordination: Shekin – Miss Naidi
Cheerleaders: Shekin – Despina Naidi, Thenia Antoniadou, Ioanna Zymaritis
- Movement and improvisation workshopLand(e)scapes”
The workshop is inspired by the concepts of landscape and body and approaches them as interdependent entities. In the workshop we will discover the physicality of the landscape that surrounds us, its importance for each of us today and our physical-expressive relationship with it.
Coordination: Thenia Antoniadou
Cheerleaders: Thenia Antoniadou, Ioanna Zimaritis
The program is organized by Association of Parents, Guardians and Friends A.M.E.A. Region of Western Macedonia, in co-organization with Underscore AMKE, financial support to the Ministry Culture and his patronage Municipality of Eordaia.
