Storytelling Performances

Fairy tales in my life

The Narration of Fairy Tales in my Life

I love fairy tales because they are like birds.They are heard only by children and those with a pure heart, just like my grandmother, who blew the fairytale breeze into my mind and heart. I narrate tales from our local written and oral tradition, as well as from other cultures and places around the world,  fairy tales of mine, but also poetic stories. I cherish magical fairytales and stories of wisdom that carry the truth on their wings from the dawn of time.

 

 

I have designed and executed interactive storytelling performances with various themes in museums, schools, galleries, radio and TV shows, theaters, at the Agios Savvas Oncology Hospital, at the Athens Conservatoire, at the School of Play, at children’s festivals, at the 3rd International Street Theatre Festival, at the Fournos Theatre, at the Michalis Cacogiannis Foundation, at the Book Arcade in collaboration with various publishing houses, at the Technopolis of the Municipality of Athens, in collaboration with various municipalities and cultural organizations in the country, at the ESHEA Oncology Congress, at the Hellenic-Japanese conference with the Seiwa Bunraku puppet theater group, in the garden of the Athens Concert Hall, and more.

 

 

I have participated in conferences and seminars, giving lectures regarding fairy tales, and their therapeutic function. I have conducted seminars on fairy tales for pedagogy and preschool education students, and I continue to organize experiential workshops for adults on the art of storytelling, “The Fairy Tale: A Pedagogical and Therapeutic Tool for Self-Knowledge and Joy in Times of Crisis”, as well as experiential storytelling and color workshops for children,“Discovering my gifts and unfolding my dreams through fairy tales”.

 

I focus on the healing effect and function of fairy tales and I believe that storytelling is an act of transmitting strength, a process of initiation and preparation for the journey of the soul and the evolution of consciousness.

Welcome to the world of painting and art!
Art for me is a secret gateway to transition and communicate with the magical parallel reality, to breathe and reconnect with my soul's song. Through art I discover every time from the beginning the path to converse with a deep and invisible side of the world, to be able to transform darkness into light and pain into a path for rebirth and transformation
