Why out of comfort zone? What does comfort zone really mean? What’s wrong with comfort zone?
————————————————————————
All the responsibility is yours, all the choices, all the failure, all the success. In this class, every and any form and umbilical cord associated with social syndromes, forms of society, rules, prejudices, methods and techniques is dismissed, in order to provide space for the creation of a personalized “form” for the performer, based on their freedom of expression. Give no more directions to the artists. Let them do it their way.
FREEDOM AS THE ONLY COMFORT ZONE

@and_they_built_churches and @lfacting are two projects led by @labros.filippou.
The first one is about music and the healing power of the voice and its therapeutic frequencies. The second one is an exercise about freedom of expression.
These healing sessions will start taking place Friday, the 3rd of April, 4pm New York time, and will go on every Friday until early May.
Every session will be a combination of wellness and empowerment of the core. A moment of deep relaxation and spiritual ascension. Connecting with the inside.
Melodic lines from the Byzantine musical womb and Countertenor vocals from the Classical music world, will meet with Shamanic voice drones and rhythmic patterns, all created Live and only with voices.
Guest musicians might appear in some session and will be announced earlier.
The events will be streaming from the account of And They Built Churches on facebook and shared by all co-hosts of this event. Please, find and follow so as to be notified when Live streaming begins.
Earphones or good quality speakers are essential for these sessions to be fully received in their best quality and effectiveness.
Live Guided Meditation & Soundbath will be FREE for all to be pleased. Donation of $5-10 or more is strongly suggested. You can support this work and complete the energy circle by donating any amount through this link. Find in bio link and also in the “ticket” link of this event on fb.
Share this event with your friends or tag them under this post, if you’d like.
Much Love to everyone and welcome to a healing experience.

LFacting Announcement for a second research team creation and one artist or group residency. #online #classes
Thank you so much for you interest in regards to my recent calling about the team I wanted to create, that will consist of people who will work with us as a research team and collaborators on the dramaturgical analysis on a specific project chosen by the artist in residency. The submissions were more than I could fit in for this project with the subject: “woman in tradition and how we can redevelop her status through art”, that the artist I’m coaching chose. This encouraged me, though, to go on and announce the creation of a second research team. But first, I’ll have to find the next artist or group in residency. Artists need to send me a proposal for a project in development or ready to start developing. Please, send me your proposal at lfacting3@gmail.com. Then, I will proceed with the formation of the research team that will work for this project. The team will consist of 5-7 people. The participants have to understand and speak English fluently and be professionally related to one or more of the following fields: Theater, cinema, dance, music, poetry, installation art, literature-linguistics, psychology – specializing in group therapy, sociology, political science, neuroscience, architecture, anthropology, physics, chemistry, biology. Classes will be two-hour long and will take place every Saturday, 12pm NY time. This is an open call worldwide. This workshop will start on the 11th of April for the artist/group in residency and the 18th April for the research team. It will go until the 20th of June. The cost for the artist in residency is $550 (+$150 for every artist, if it is a group) and for every participant in the team $120 total. Thank you and looking forward to receiving your submissions. Please, tag, forward, share this with your friends. * shot by @labros.filippou @lfacting * shot by @alegi__ #residency #artistresidency #artistinresidence #art #actor #performer #theater #psychology #neuroscience #sociology #music #band #installationart #director #writer #worldwide
LFacting - research team creation announcement
Next Thursday, April 2nd, 7pm Greece time, I’m opening the class I have with a brilliant Greek artist based in Berlin.
This opening-calling is about a group of people I would like to create, which is going to be a research team and a collaborator on the dramaturgical analysis. This team will consist of 5-7 people who will audit the class, keep notes and get involved in the development of the project of the artist as consultants.
The project’s theme is “woman in tradition and how we can redevelop her status through art”. The basic means of the performance are music, voice and performance.
The rate will be 10 euros per person, per class and the classes will take place weekly for two hours, until the end of May. This classes language will be Greek for dramaturgical reasons.
Submit at lfacting3@gmail.com.
Thank you,
Labros

Scholarship announcement:
Scholarship announcement: Throughout the years, I’ve been offering scholarships to artists that needed to take a workshop or several classes, but couldn’t afford it at that time. It’s time for another one. I announce a full 3-month scholarship for one artist or theatrical/dance/music group (band), starting this March. This isn’t part of the monthly workshops I’m doing in New York, but a separate worldwide calling that occurs to private coaching for an artist or group from around the world. Classes are going to take place in a weekly basis, through Skype, in English or Greek. I’ll be assisting the artist(s) to better understand, manage and lead their craft in its best volume. The artist/group needs to send me a cover letter, including age, artistic field and anything you’d like to share about your vision and work. Also, please, write a paragraph describing why you’d like to take these classes, as well as why you can’t afford them at the moment. There will be a review of your email followed be an interview and if it all looks like a good fit for this calling, then we start working. Send your email at lfacting3@gmail.com and confirm with a DM in this account’s inbox. Thank you and looking forward to your messages. Let your friends know. Best, Labros LFacting.com photo by Alex Giannakakis
