What this publication includes

This publication is an attempt to record, in Greek and in English, what was said and done during the 2003 Conference.

Part A includes the keynote speeches in the order they were delivered. Part B includes, in alphabetical order, all papers and posters presented. Part C includes, also in alphabetical order, written material on the seminars and the workshops (description, exercises, comments, and theoretical considerations). In Part D the artistic events of the 2003 Conference are presented (dance and theatrical performances and movie viewings) through interviews with the contributors, descriptions, comments and photographs.

Due to the practical and experiential nature of theatre, any written description of the workshops has always been a difficult endeavor. In fact, artists often avoid submitting written descriptions of their practical sessions, due to their belief that the most important part of the theatrical art is usually invisible. As a result of this, some practical workshops will only be presented as a "synopsis".

Thus, the passages assembled in this volume draw their value from the practical character of the Conference and are not intended to be directly applied in classroom by anyone, but mainly as informative and reflective material.
