Our Opening Sundays

The theatre documentary workshop group continues to bring Sundays into our everyday lives, and invites us to an open class on Thursday, April 30th, 19:30–21:30, at Choros of liminal.

The inclusive theatre-movement group, composed of people of different ages and body types, looks toward the camera, smiling. Some are seated on chairs or on the floor, others use wheelchairs, while others are standing. They appear to be in a rehearsal space with mirrors, grey walls, and a grey floor.

The class will take the form of an interactive workshop with audience participation and offer a small glimpse into the methodology the group has followed over the course of its six-month meetings.

By combining documentary theatre with creative accessibility, we’ll explore through theatrical games, automatic writing, acting, movement, and improvisation, what our “Sundays” might mean.

How is dramaturgical material generated through personal narratives?
How do we incorporate accessibility tools into improvisation and the creative process?
How do we participate freely, without barriers, and how do we create worlds?

The team looks forward to welcoming you with openness and a spirit of play, experimentation, and exploration!

A pink star stands out among the sketches, alongside questions such as “what am I doing here?” and “are we eating fish again?”, as well as the phrases “chicken with potatoes” and “the Sunday I was on Strefi Hill.”

ℹ️ The open class is accessible to participants with mobility, hearing, and visual disabilities.
