Our Theatre P.L.A.Y. intends to bring theatre to the hearts of young people, broaden their career perspectives in the field of performing arts and to create awareness about accessibility of the Arts. The principles of collaborative efforts are at the core of inclusion and participants will have the opportunity to acquire skills, implement them as they work step-by-step to produce their own play and share them with their peers and families. Students of varying skills will get together to train, work, perform – assume production responsibilities, mostly in an unfamiliar environment, thus enhancing their social and group skills and work dynamics they will acquire in the process. The empowerment, positive reinforcement, and increased self-esteem that theatre offers are essential in the educational and social framework of youth. THEAMA – Inclusive Theatre is the first professional, all-inclusive theatre group, with disabled and non-disabled artists operating in Greece since 2010.
The co-creation process will result in a stage performance on December 3rd, on the occasion of the International World Disability Day.
