Sisiphus – Experiential Workshop “Mythology and Art”

A workshop for children and their parents

– The experiential workshop refers to children 5 – 11 years old and adults

The workshop “Mythology and Art” approaches mythology via many different forms of art, like for example painting, sculpturing, theatre, music, and cinema. Ancient Greek mythology has overcome every local and time boarder and has become a spiritual virtue for all humans.

Arts coming from ceramic, sculpture, murals, paintings, theatre, choreographies and movies, prove the diachronic presence of myths.  It is a source of inspiration for every form of art in the history of global culture.

Symbolism is the main ingredient of mythology and reveals even the deepest aspects of a person’s physiology.

Inspiration, fantasy, release of creativity are some of the main characteristics of the workshop, aiming to expressing aesthetic and its various aspects. The participants will firstly discover the story and myth of Sisiphus through art, moving images, music and then they will improvise with different methods and techniques.

Open discussion will follow right after.
