Creative writing seminar
An exciting journey through imagination, inspiration, creativity, writing, play and improvisation. Creative writing and theatrical education complement each other and enable all children to unfold their talents and skills. Children are taught:
- Word games
- Speech exercises
- Playing with the 5 senses (children discover the infinite possibilities of creative writing through smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste)
- Theatrical improvisation through play and movement
- Composition and writing of a fairy tale illustrated by themselves
The children’s works are printed by the Theocharakis Foundation, creating a mini children’s edition as a result of their first attempt at writing! The program is ideal for children with learning disabilities (ADHD, Dyslexia). With the Sparks creative team.
Detailed program:
Getting to know each other with improvisation and theatrical play activities.
Creative writing principles: An introduction to the world of creative writing though discussion and watching audiovisual media.
