This workshop invites participants to step into the playful side of themselves -the part that moves, imagines, responds, and maybe enjoys not knowing what comes next!
Using principles of Dramatherapy and body-based improvisation, we’ll explore how play can reconnect us with spontaneity, expression, and joy. Through simple guided activities that involve movement, imagery, and role exploration, participants will be encouraged to engage with their bodies in a way that is light, curious, and open.
No performance is expected, and no prior experience is needed.
The aim is to offer a safe space to move freely, express, connect with others, and perhaps notice what play reveals when we give it room.
Come as you are -playful, tired, shy, or bold- and see what moves through.
Vasiliki Moka
Social Scientist & Dramatherapist
Vasiliki Moka is a Social Scientist and Dramatherapy facilitator trained at the Hellenic Institute of Playtherapy and Dramatherapy “Athyrma." With a Master’s degree in Social Sciences/Human Rights (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) she is passionate about the ways creativity and embodiment can support (inter)personal expression and connection.
She is a SYLFF Foundation fellow, recognized for her research on documentary theatre and lived experience. Her thesis focused on how the repeated involvement of non-professional actresses in performance shaped their sense of identity, presence, and emotional connection to their personal narratives.
Vasiliki facilitates Dramatherapy workshops, group processes, and one-on-one sessions in Greece and abroad. Her practice combines movement, role-play, storytelling, and symbolic exploration to help participants engage with their emotional landscapes and inner narratives.
In all her work, she is interested in how body and imagination can come together in a safe, creative space -not for performance, but for reflection and discovery. She believes that Dramatherapy offers a valuable space to listen, express, and grow -both individually and collectively.
