TESTIMONIALS
Georgia Hadjinikolaou
​
Teleporta theatre workshop is an ideal workshop you can choose for self-awareness and self-development.
During the activities I had the opportunity to reflect on past and future, learn both for myself and others, to interpret emotions and ideas and imagine new worlds and situations. This workshop improved my self confidence and helped me with stress.
All the activities are so well structured and help you effortlessly, in a safe environment to improvise, imagine, think out of the box and be creative. As an educator myself I understand how much effort and thinking is put on this activities by our wonderful and passionate teacher, Katerina.
I highly recommend it to everyone.

I love devising theatre. Teleporta is a fantastic workshop which helps you a lot to increase your spontaneity and your confidence. There you have the chance to meet other people, make new friends and discuss with others your ideas about any games and theatre. Moreover, Katerina is a lovely teacher with lots of creative ideas making the lesson even more funny and exciting.

Every week, I'm looking forward to our next session. Katerina is such an innovative, playful and creative facilitator and makes it so easy for me to feel comfortable and express myself. This workshop is a unique way to explore yourself and work as a team, even online.

​
Katerina is such an outstanding educator. For each lesson she spends hours of studying and preparation. My daughter has tried other workshops in the past but this is totally a different league, she loves every minute of it. Katerina has great empathy, she is playful and fun but her work is dead serious and deep. I feel she is capable of making any child shine. I cannot recommend this workshop enough.

My child experienced wonderful images,sounds and unique projects. She developed her imagination and self-esteem in such a caring and warm environment.
​
I know Christina from attending my ‘mix it up’ art sessions. During these sessions she often made very original art. She's fun, passionate and always 'lights up' when involved with art and imagination, all the necessary skill set needed to make children's workshops fun.

"Do what you love, and you’ll never work another day in your life”. This is the best motto for Christina! When she works, you can clearly see her passion for children and their emotional well-being, she is sensitive and creative, always engaged and ready to share the fun! It’s a joy to work with her.
ABOUT TELEPORTA
Teleporta is a door ("porta" in Greek means "door") that leads us into magical worlds.We travel through time and space, explore the world and express ourselves. It’s a mix & match theatre workshop where different arts are combined and projects are held (community theatre, site-specific theatre, museum projects, yoga stories, crafting etc). They all result in a devised piece of theatre, a unique performance made from scratch where everyone can participate in any way they prefer, on stage or off stage. Children, teenagers, adults become teleporters -in English or Greek- through drama games, improvisation, role playing, dramatisation, storytelling, pantomime, puppetry, movement, music and songs, props making, short film making, writing and the use of media.
