Nikos Nikas, actor and professor of acting and Maro Theodorakis, musician, singing teacher, coacher & writter Maro Theodorakis, are coming to the unique in Greece Museum of Typography for a two day seminars about acting, theater, use of our voice and singing on Saturday 21 and Sunday the 22nd of May.
We are all actors. Each passing day, every moment of our lives, we have to play roles. Within the same day we become consistent workers, tireless parents, the soul of the party. We can become divas, distant, radiant, invisible. We can be anything, depending on the mood.
Every day we follow a script. The scenario of our life. A senario that is written in different ways and merges with the scenarios of other people’ s lifes.
The seminars are aimed at all those who want to explore their potential, all those who love theater and acting, but also all those who believe that we are potential artists and that we have the power to create everything from scratch.
