Our Sundays – Documentary Theatre Workshops

On a black background, at the center, a collage of various photographs: a camper van with bicycles loaded at the back, a series of footprints forming a circle, a woman on a deck chair, three women lying down, a swan, a bouquet of flowers, hands sharing food from the same plate, and a stencil reading 'cloudy maybe, workday never'. At the center of the collage, on a white background with bold black letters, the title reads 'Our Sundays'. To the right of the image, in bold white letters, it says 'accessible documentary theatre workshops'

A series of experiential, accessible documentary theatre workshops

The workshop series “Our Sundays” aims to create a group that, through research and the sharing of personal experiences, will develop a performative documentary outcome.

The experiential theatre workshops follow a methodology developed by Nayia T. Karakosta, blending documentary theatre with creative accessibility, and are designed to generate and collect material.

The group explores and shares personal experiences while collaboratively shaping a performative outcome that incorporates accessibility as a creative tool from the very first stage of its design:

  • Integrated Audio Description and guided touch tour for blind and visually disabled participants
  • Use of and interpretation in Greek Sign Language and surtitles for D/deaf and hard-of-hearing participants

🔶 These practices are fully integrated into both the creative process and the final performative outcome.

A work that seeks to explore everything that each Sunday brings: outings, conversations, chosen families, imposed families, questions, celebrations, deep breaths, pauses. Awaiting its moment of unfolding.

Who is it for

The invitation is open to all identities: ages, body types, gender identities, sexual orientations, backgrounds, abilities, and more. No prior experience is needed—just openness, curiosity, and a willingness to engage.

ℹ️ The workshops are accessible to participants with mobility, hearing, and visual disabilities.

Methodology

By continuously expanding her knowledge and experience through trainings, creative projects and performances, workshop design, and programs for hosting and exchanging best practices, Nayia has developed an interdisciplinary methodology through which she designs and facilitates accessible, experiential theatre workshops.

Her methodology is a blend of practices she has been trained in and working with since 2013, and continues to explore. It draws from creative accessibility, devised theatre, educational drama, theatrical play, directing, acting, automatic writing, documentary research practices, dramaturgy, and movement, all combined with care practices—an ever-evolving field of exploration.

The focus is on creating a safe space rooted in consent, care, fragility, and vulnerability. Participants are encouraged to take risks, create, question, express frustrations, and fully immerse themselves. The process follows horizontal, collaborative practices around the chosen theme.
