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.

Moreover, Katerina is a lovely teacher with lots of creative ideas making the lesson even more funny and exciting.

Mimi Vasilaki, proud mum
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.
Mary Cassidy, Drama teacher at St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School(2018-19)
Katerina was a real asset to the Drama department, consistently delivering creative, energised and fun workshops and devising performances for our annual talent show.
Eleftheria Tsinaslanidou, proud mum
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.
Michela, Nursery Deputy Manager
"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.
