Our very special week in Amari. A time for winemaking and drinking. A time to be close to Dionysus, the God of Wine, and the Earth. We will visit the shrines in the mountains and tell stories in places that inspired some of the oldest Greek myths! We will make a Cretan Labyrinth and walk it, following Ariadne's golden thread. We will get to know the land and share the stories that arise in us from walking, talking and being in this age-old landscape. Come and enjoy the abundant simplicity of Amari!
Μία ιδιαίτερη εβδομάδα στο Αμάρι. Τιμώντας τον Διόνυσο και την Γη θα τρυγήσουμε, θα πατήσουμε σταφύλια και θα απολαύσουμε ένα ξεχωριστό κρασί. Θα επισκεφθούμε αρχαίους τόπους και θα ακούσουμε τους μύθους και τους θρύλους που γέννησαν. Θα στήσουμε και θα περπατήσουμε ένα λαβύρινθο ακολουθώντας το χρυσό νήμα της Αριάδνης. Θα γνωρίσουμε τον τόπο και θα μοιραστούμε τις ιστορίες που αναδύονται. Ελάτε να απολαύσουμε την όμορφη και πλούσια απλότητα του χωριού.

Mixing the Muses: Storytelling for today
4-9 April
with Michael Harvey
In the spirit of the drama festivals of Ancient Greece that staged the best of ‘high' and ‘low' art side by side we will explore the place of high tragedy and broad comedy in our storytelling. We will aim to bring together both the sublime and the earthy in our telling in a celebration of the fullness of life, our own unique individual voices and the audience's engagement and response.
The work will be practical with ample opportunities to prepare material, work individually and in groups, share work in progress and receive constructive feedback
This course aims to find a place for both catharsis and the belly laugh in contemporary storytelling. Please bring stories that reflect these two qualities to work on and share.
