Ένα εργαστήριο πάνω στον ιδιαίτερο κόσμο του αυτοσχεδιασμού με μια μοναδική καλλιτέχνη στο ρόλο της συντονίστριας, την πολυτάλαντη Olive Pascha!  Στόχος μας, να αφεθούμε, να ξεφύγουμε από την μανία μας να ελέγχουμε και να εξηγούμε στο νου μας την κάθε στιγμή μας πάνω στη σκηνή. Να αντιληφθούμε την διαφορά του ρήματος «υποκρίνομαι» με το «υπάρχω» πάνω στη σκηνή.

A Workshop that is all about resisting our urges to put our characters in boxes and just let go of ourselves in order to “find” our new personas that each time we are tasked for.    In each session the participants are invited to explore how to create genuine, unscripted moments on stage, without being over-worked about intentions or relying on overly polished delivery. It is rooted in a desire to remain open, curious, and honest in each performance.

Participants will be taught how to:

• Let go of the need to control or explain every moment
• Deepen the connection between them and their character while allowing for their vulnerability and ambiguity to immerse
• Embrace stillness, silence, and the mundane as vital aspects of live performance
• Notice the change between performing versus simply being present

The workshop includes improvisation with private character prompts, set in everyday contexts and overlooked spaces. Together, we will explore the use of silence and reality as performance, reflecting on the challenges and insights that emerge along the way.

It is open to actors, theatre-makers, and students interested in an instinctive, stripped-back approach to performance. It is especially relevant for artists with some experience who are comfortable with improvisation and wish to build on their familiar training by challenging themselves to discover and explore a different way of being on stage.

Bio

Olive Pascha is a writer, director, and community artist working across film and theatre. Over the past twelve years, her practice has been shaped by work and study in the UK, India, Russia, Europe, and Lebanon. She is drawn to unanswered questions, to the spaces and silences often overlooked, and to moments that resist easy explanation.

Her creative language has been formed not only through theatre and film but also through unexpected, non-traditional encounters. Alongside her artistic work, Olive has seven years’ experience as a part-time carer in a range of settings—a practice that continues to shape how she listens, notices, and creates. She is currently completing a part-time master’s in philosophy, which offers a vital lens through which to keep questioning.

Olive is developing a new play about homecare in the UK, rooted in extensive interviews with carers and older adults. She will be in Athens this September as an international artist with Persona Theater Company, as part of a wider artistic investigation into how we meet each other—on stage and in life—using real-time performance as an extraordinary creative constraint. Through this research, she explores how attention, care, contradiction, and the everyday shape who we are and how we relate to one another. Keen to connect with local actors and collaborators, Olive sees this as an opportunity to expand her understanding of performance. Her work is committed to European artistic exchange and to finding new ways of being present together on stage, without defaulting to traditional notions of “performance.”
