Artist statement
I am Nikoletta Dimopoulou, based in Greece, working as an applied theatre facilitator and devised theatre maker. For the last years I find myself being part of communities doing collective artwork and parallel to this, working with communities as a facilitator. So far, I explore different ways of performative and experiential learning through theatre and performance art. Mainly finding myself in multinational workgroups, I have co-created environments of acceptance, social inclusion and togetherness based on the needs of the participants.
Alongside, my cooperation with organizations such as British Council Greece, Actionaid and private education companies in the UK focuses on Life Skills programs working on active citizenship, community empowerment and democratic participation tools where I operate as a facilitator. Μy work carries values of intercultural interaction, strong engagement and group-based approach in order to succeed both in empowering people and social groups, and at the same time in exploring skills, talents and tangible opportunities of self-actualization and independence.
