Theatrical Play

with Rita Zikidou
for children 4+
every Saturday 5 - 6.30 pm

Painting, dance and music – all the arts come together in our theatrical play where very young children get their first taste of playacting. When we meet as a team we try, through playing terms, coexistence and the emotions it generates, communication and acceptance.

With hosts of fairy tales from the CHILDREN's LIBRARY, stories of all kinds and games in a circle, in duos or individually; games of every kind, full of imagination and humour. With glove puppets, stage props and coloured fabrics we train in love!
